How to Pay Your Taxes - YouTube video text script

There are several easy ways to pay your taxes¡­

Online¡­ by phone¡­ cash¡­ check or money order. To pay online¡­ you can go to your online account at irs.gov/account and make a payment from your checking or savings account. You can also view the amount you owe¡­ any payment history or activity¡­ and other account information there. If you don't have an existing account¡­ registration is required. Have your photo identification ready. Another easy way to pay is with IRS Direct Pay, available only at IRS.gov/directpay. With Direct Pay¡­ you can make a payment directly from your savings or checking account with no registration required. You can pay by debit card, credit card or with a digital wallet online at IRS.gov/payments. If you choose this option¡­ just remember that unlike IRS Direct Pay¡­ the payment service provider will charge an additional fee.

If you file your own tax return online¡­ you can schedule a payment through your tax preparation software. If you use a tax professional¡­ you can ask them to schedule a payment for you when they file your return. Another way to pay is by phone. For a fee¡­ you can call a debit or credit card service provider that works with the IRS. You can also pay cash in person at one of our retail partners. To do this¡­ you must first verify your information online. Go to IRS.gov/paywithcash for instructions. Finally¡­ if you pay by check or money order¡­ make sure it's payable to the United States Treasury and be sure you mail it to the correct address.
