Filing by mail, but i don’t want to send a check

My wife and i were unable to file online and we were told we would have to file by mail.  But we owe money and are not expecting a return and its a pretty large amount of money.  I don’t want to send a check because i know it’s taking the irs a long time to process returns and i dont want to be hit with a huge charge at some random day 6 months to a year from now. I have the money to pay for it now and would prefer to pay for it online. But if i did how would they know what the money is for without the return or if i even was paying the right amount?
