Using EFTPS to pay balance of my 2021 Tax liability
Hello everyone,
I am about to e-file for the first time in my life. I have mailed in our tax return for years. I will be using the Free File Fillable form. I am married filing jointly. We pay estimated taxes quarterly using EFTPS. After doing a rough estimate of our 2021 taxes we will owe a small amount to the IRS. When i looked at the booklet on Free File, it looks like there is no option to pay our balance via EFTPS. It prompts you with 4 options: Put in your checking and routing numbers to pay electronically (don't want to do that), use Direct Pay (why should I do this if I have EFTPS?), pay with a hard check that i have to mail, or indicate that I cannot pay and want to be put on a payment plan. And I think I have to pick one of these in order to submit. Has anyone incurred this and figured out a way to use EFTPS. Only other thing I can see is that I indicate that i will send a hard check in the mail, but then, instead, go over and pay the balance on EFTPS. Any advice,
Thanks,
Rosanne
