You can use a Visa, MasterCard, American Express or Discover card to pay your federal taxes. There is a convenience fee of 1.95% of your federal tax payment that will be charged to your credit card. There is a fixed fee of $3.89 for Visa Debit and ATM Debit.
On the www.payUSAtax.com/hrblockathome web site, you'll enter your federal tax obligation, your social security number and additional identifying information. At this time your convenience fee amount is calculated for the payment.
Once the payment has been processed you'll be provided with a confirmation code. Your credit card statement will show a payment to U.S. TREASURY TAX PAYMENT as further proof of payment. The convenience fee will be included on the statement as a PAY USA TAX CONVENIENCE FEE.
Notes:
If your payment is made after April 18th, you may be subject to late payment interest and penalties. The following are common reasons for a credit/charge card transaction not to be authorized, your credit/charge card account does not contain a sufficient line of credit/charge to complete the transaction, or you have not provided the correct names or account information.
If you make an error, the transaction cannot be "reversed." You must request a refund through the existing tax refund procedures. Once you have authorized a credit card payment, the Treasury cannot cancel any requested payment made by credit/charge card.
In the event the service provider fails to forward the tax payment to the Treasury, the taxpayer will be responsible for the tax payment and for any penalties and interest.
