What is IRS Direct Pay and how does it compare to EFTPS?

IRS Direct Pay is a free and secure online service that lets individuals and some businesses pay federal taxes directly from a checking or savings account, without requiring registration. Direct Pay is ideal for same-day or one-time payments up to $10 million, and for immediate payment needs (such as balance due, estimated taxes, extensions, and amended returns).

IRS Direct Pay is often the fastest option if you have a tax deadline and aren't registered with EFTPS, and is ideal for one-time or immediate payments for most individual and business federal tax liabilities.
