  Wait, seriously? I only ever saw a bank account option. I'd totally do this.

    There are a bunch of different sites, but I have used this one: https://www.pay1040.com/ https://www.pay1040.com/

      Oh wow, so I have to give them my name, address, phone, and SSN just to process a credit card payment? That's not worth it...
      • cycrutchfield 8y ago
        Your SSN is essentially your Tax ID number, so I'm not sure how else you would expect them to pay your taxes on your behalf.

          Well I kind of hoped I could pay IRS directly rather than through a middleman, or get a clear, no-loophole guarantee of some sort that they would do nothing with my SSN other than transmit it to the IRS. (Or through TurboTax, which I've unfortunately already used anyway, meaning they already have my info.)

            The IRS doesn't accept credit card payments. That's why it's farmed out to third-party companies like the one I linked to.

        ... How else would the IRS know how to credit your payment without that information?

          The sibling comment asked the same question 2 hours ago. See my reply there.
