How Much Does It Cost to Pay Taxes with a Credit Card?

Posted by: John Freycinet  Posted date: April 03, 2012 in Credit Card News

Paying taxes is one of the two inevitable events in life and as much as we dislike it, it is certainly preferable to the other. Nevertheless, there can be a silver lining to a taxpayer’s burden when they use their credit card to make their payment. Doing so can earn rewards and finance a large tax bill. While there are four different companies that accept tax payments on behalf of the IRS, each will charge a percentage of the amount paid as a “convenience fee”. Therefore, it is important for taxpayers who use their credit cards for IRS payments to carefully pick the company they use for processing.

WorldPay US, Inc.

WorldPay accepts IRS payments of personal and business taxes. Customers who pay with a MasterCard or a Discover card can do so at payUSAtax.com. There is a convenience of 1.89%, with a minimum fee of $3.89.  Alternatively, cardholders can use their American Express card at ValueTaxpayment.com where payments will incur a 2.29% convenience fee.
