You can tell the software that you will mail a check to the IRS and then pay your tax due by whatever method you actually choose to use.

If you owe tax due, you have to pay it yourself by the filing deadline on April 15, 2026.

If you have federal tax due you can pay by mailing your payment with the 1040V voucher, (which has the address printed on it, having the payment taken out of a designated bank account, or you can pay directly on the IRS website.
