Payment Options

While individuals can still pay their federal taxes by check, businesses are required to pay all of their federal taxes by EFTPS (Please see section titled EFTPS – Electronic Federal Tax Payment System for additional information). Please note that even though individuals are not required to use EFTPS to make their federal tax payments, they may do so if desired.

Most states still accept checks from both individuals and businesses. However, some sort of electronic payment is most of the time preferred.

Our office will still mail you your tax payment vouchers on paper for you to send a check, unless you are REQUIRED to pay electronically. We do this for your convenience, as the information on the voucher will assist you in making the correct type of payment. You should pay close attention when paying electronically, as some methods do charge you a fee when processing your payment.

If you can not pay your taxes at the time it is due, there are options available to you. While interest and payment will accrue, there are things we can do to stop the collection process. For additional information about paying your taxes after the due date, please call our office at 818-980-0829.
