E-file and Pay by Credit

You can get an extension if you pay part or all of your estimate
of income tax due by using a credit card (American Express®
Card, Discover® Card, MasterCard® card, or Visa® card). Your
payment must be at least $1. You can pay by phone or over the
Internet through one of the service providers listed below.
Each service provider will charge a convenience fee based on
the amount of the tax payment you are making. Fees may vary
between service providers. You will be told what the fee is
during the transaction and will have the option to continue or
cancel the transaction. You can also obtain the convenience fee
by calling the providers’ toll-free automated customer service
numbers or visiting their websites. Do not add the convenience
fee to your tax payment.

IRS e-file is the IRS’s electronic filing program. You can get an
automatic extension of time to file your tax return by filing Form
4868 electronically. You will receive an electronic
acknowledgment once you complete the transaction. Keep it
with your records. Do not send in Form 4868 if you file
electronically.
Complete Form 4868 to use as a worksheet. If you think you
may owe tax when you file your return, you will need to estimate
your total tax liability and subtract how much you have already
paid (lines 4, 5, and 6 below).
Several companies offer free online e-filing of Form 4868 to all
taxpayers without any restrictions. For more details, go to
www.irs.gov/app/freeFile/jsp/all_offers.jsp.
If you think you may owe tax and wish to make a payment,
you can pay by electronic funds withdrawal using option 1 or
you can pay by credit card using option 2. See 1 and 2 on this
page for details.
