Can I use my credit card to pay 2024 federal income tax dues when I file using TurboTax online next week?

If you owe tax due, you have to pay it yourself by the filing deadline on April 15, 2025.

 

 

 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.

You must pay your state tax due using the state’s preferred method of receiving payment.  For most states that will be by making a payment to the state’s own tax website, or by mailing a check or money order.

Yes.  You can pay for your federal taxes with your credit/debit card through a third-party payment processor. The processor charges a convenience fee.

 

If you're e-filing, choose Charge my credit card when we ask how you want to pay your federal taxes.

 

If you're paper-filing, you won't see a credit/debit option, but you can do this instead:

 

  1. In TurboTax, select Pay by check when asked how you want to pay your taxes.
  2. Follow the instructions to print a paper copy of your return.
    • Throw out the 1040-V voucher that prints out. You won't need it.
  3. Go to the IRS Pay Your Taxes by Debit or Credit Card site, choose a payment processor, and pay your tax bill there.
