Use this IRS site to pay

Thanks. After I make a payment, do I still need to mail form to IRS?

[MichaelL1]

You can e-file the return yet.   the payment form does not need to be mailed

[SweetieJean]

Just say on it that you will mail a check.

Thanks SweetieJean and TurboTaxMichaelL1!

Does the check have to be postmarked or just noted for today?

[SweetieJean]

If you are paying on the IRS website, you do not mail a check at all. That's just the way to get the efile of the tax return to work.

[jmhonermann]

Can you pay directly via IRS.gov?

[ronjog2]

Thank you so much!

[jmhonermann]

Do you have to pay first and then e-file?

[SweetieJean]

You can do it in either order.

I'm confused. TurboTax won't let you e-file without selecting a payment option. What option are we supposed to select if we direct pay via the IRS website?

So wait... I payed $129 for turbotax and it won't let me file my taxes/pay today?
