Note This article is about the Drake E-Payment center through 1040paytax.com. For information on authorizing a payment by debit or credit card BEFORE the tax return is filed, see Drake Tax - Integrated File and Pay - Pay a 1040 or 4868 Balance Due by Credit Debit Card instead.
Drake Software offers an e-Payment Center for making tax payments via debit card or credit card (MasterCard®, Visa®, Discover®, AmEx®).
The e-Payment Center is a convenient option for taxpayers who choose to pay their tax bill at their own convenience once the return is filed. Unlike Integrated File and Pay (IFP), this option is not integrated with the e-file process; instead, taxpayers can simply go to our e-Payment Center at any time to make their payment. In addition to Form 1040 and 4868 payments, other payment options are available at the e-Payment Center, including 94x payments.
Functionality
After a tax return is filed, a taxpayer can use a credit or debit card to make a balance due payment to the IRS and also to Illinois and North Dakota, by going directly to https://1040paytax.com/. As the preparer, you can access https://1040paytax.com/ for the taxpayer by using the Pay balance due link on the ES, X, or state FAQ screens in the 1040 program.
Fees
The convenience fees associated with the e-Payment center can be found at https://www.pay1040.com/payment/personal.
