When does the payment occur if I opted to pay the IRS tax due through Electronic Federal Tax Payment System (EFTPS)?

If you choose to pay your taxes through the EFTPS method, you are solely responsible for paying your federal taxes on time.

To pay the tax due, please visit www.EFTPS.gov or use the voice response system at 1-800-555-3453 to schedule your payment.

We suggest you schedule your tax payment by 8 PM EST on the day before the payment due date to ensure timely receipt by the IRS. The funds will be withdrawn from your bank account on the settlement date you select. Once the payment is processed, you will receive an immediate acknowledgment of your payment from EFTPS.

Note: You must be enrolled to use the EFTPS® tax payment service. If you haven't enrolled, you can do so in several ways:

• Visit https://www.eftps.gov or call the following EFTPS® Customer Service number to request an enrollment form:

  • 800-555-4477

  • 877-333-8292 (Federal Agencies)

  • 800-733-4829 (TDD Hearing-Impaired)

  • 800-244-4829 (Español)

If this is your first time enrolling in EFTPS®, your information will need to be validated with the IRS. After this process, you will receive a personal identification number (PIN) via U.S. Mail within five to seven business days at your IRS address of record. You can then use this PIN to log into your EFTPS account.
