Welcome to EFTPS®
New to our site?
The Electronic Federal Tax Payment System® tax payment service is provided free by the U.S. Department of the Treasury. After you've enrolled and received your credentials, you can pay any tax due to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) using this system.
You asked, we listened!
The EFTPS® Web site was recently updated based on feedback from users like you. You can now:

  • Verify the bank account that will be used when making a payment

  • Change the bank account used for a payment

  • Self-select your PIN when creating an additional enrollment

  • Terminate an enrollment you are no longer using

See What's New for complete details.

Please note: Your tax payment is due regardless of this Web site's availability. You can always make a tax payment by calling our voice response system at 1.800.555.3453. Follow the prompts to make your payment.

  • Payments using this Web site or our voice response system must be scheduled by 8 p.m. ET the day before the due date to be received timely by the IRS. The funds will move out of your banking account on the date you select for settlement.

  • You may use this Web site and our voice response system (1.800.555.3453) interchangeably to make payments.

  • If you are required to make deposits electronically but do not wish to use the EFTPS® tax payment service yourself, ask your financial institution about ACH Credit or same-day wire payments, or consult a tax professional or payroll provider about making payments for you. Please note: These options may result in fees from the providers. Payments through third parties may have earlier cutoff times; please check with them for their deadlines.
