Estimated or Balance Due Tax Payments

How to make estimated or balance due tax payments to the IRS.
NOTE: there are two options explained here. Estimated Payments and Balance Due.
1. Estimated payments, which are usually quarterly throughout the tax year. Follow the instructions below.
2. Balance Due payments, which are usually at the time of your tax return, when you owe taxes for the prior year. For Balance Due, you must select “Balance Due” for the “Reason for Payment” section. Otherwise, the instructions are the same as below.


Go to the IRS Payment Page: https://www.irs.gov/payments

Choose the option for how you will pay. This example continues assuming the “Direct pay with bank account” option.
Then select “Pay individual tax.”
Then select “Make a payment.”
Then, to make an estimated payment for the current tax year, set the options as shown below.


After you have completed the payment, retain the payment receipt for your records and upload a copy of the receipt to our client portal.
