That number was more for you than the IRS.
- The IRS will not hold you to the number you entered.
- All they care about is what you actually owe, and did you pay it on time.
- Pay what you expect to owe by April 15th, 2024.
You can still make the payment, but it will take a couple of steps.
My IRS reference is Pay by Check or Money Order
Before submitting a payment through the mail, please consider alternative methods.
The IRS has a safe, quick and easy electronic payment options might be right for you.
If you choose to mail your tax payment:
- Make your check, money order or cashier's check payable to U.S. Treasury.
- Please note: Do not send cash through the mail. If you prefer cash payment, see "More Information" below.
- Enter the amount using all numbers ($###.##).
- Do not use staples or paper clips to affix your payment to your voucher or return.
- Make sure your check or money order includes the following information:
- Your name and address
- Daytime phone number
- Social Security number (the SSN shown first if it's a joint return) or employer identification number
- Tax year
- Related tax form or notice number
- Mail your payment to the address listed on the notice or instructions, or consult the table below.
