While "Strongly" encouraged by the IRS, it isn't an absolute requirement "yet".
A simple google search indicates that there are ~ 4.6 million households that do not have bank accounts, from which they could readily E-pay. SO...they don't have to file and pay taxes anymore if it becomes an "absolute requirement"???
Even the IRS has 1040-ES forms to fill out for 2026.
