Can I change my payment method from monthly checks to auto bank withdrawals after I already filed and set up payments by check?

I already filed and I set up month payments by check.  The IRS sent me a letter confirming the arrangement but I do not want to pay the fee they are charging for the service.  When I signed up for it I thought Turbo Tax showed it would be $70.  When I got the letter from IRS it showed the fee to be over $200!  I would like to know if I can change me payment method from monthly checks to auto bank withdrawals since there is no fee to pay that way.

What can I change with my payment plan online (not paid through a direct debit)?

You can use the  Online Payment Agreement tool  to make the following changes:

  • Change your monthly payment amount
  • Change your monthly payment due date
  • Convert an existing agreement to a direct debit agreement
  • Reinstate after default

You must  contact us  to make a change to an existing plan that makes payments through direct debit.

Please see the following for more information:
