I have some balance due to pay with my tax return. Can I pay via IRS Direct Pay on the IRS website, while e-filing tax return ?
I read similar posts on this board and, based on what I read, I should choose "Pay by check", and proceed to efile. After finishing e-file, I go to the IRS website and pay.
Is this procedure correct ?
If I do that, the e-filed tax return and payment are accepted separately by IRS. Do I need to do anything on the tax return to indicate that I paid through the other payment method, or does IRS figure it out as long as I choose the correct form and year during Direct Pay ?
