Hi,
Now, I am thinking to pay online (direct pay). Since the amendment procedure is very slow, I may receive CP2000 earlier than IRS cash my check. Do you think direct pay is bad idea?
Anyway, it is 1st time for me to use direct pay. So, I may need to look for how to do it.
There is nothing wrong with paying the taxes owed using the IRS payment website and Direct Pay. It quick, easy and you get a confirmation of payment from the IRS. Just make sure that you indicate the payment is for an amended return, Form 1040-X, and the tax year being paid.
The payment is completed on the day you select to have the taxes paid from your bank account. The IRS will give you a confirmation number when you complete payment information on the IRS website.
