Federal Tax News Post for August 4th
Electronic payment will soon be required for certain IRS transactions. As announced by the IRS in June, after Aug. 15, 2017, the Pay.gov electronic payment website will become the only permissible payment method for fees that taxpayers must pay when they request letter rulings, closing agreements and certain other rulings from the IRS. Pay.gov, a way to make electronic payments to federal government agencies, accepts common forms of payment, including credit and debit cards and electronic funds withdrawal from a checking or savings account.
