Taxes
17. Federal Tax Payments

Do I mail my tax payments to the IRS?
Employers are rarely required to mail a payment to the IRS. All regular payroll taxes should be remitted via the coupon system or electronically.

The three times you might have to send payment through the mail are:
   
1. You do not have an EIN. If one has not yet been issued to you, the payment should be mailed with all identifying information marked on the payment. These cases are rare, and you should call or visit your local IRS office for assistance before mailing a tax payment of this nature.
 
2. You owe back taxes to the IRS, or you are being assessed a penalty by the IRS. You should send payment in these cases to the Service Center that assessed the tax. Always include any related correspondence with all information clearly marked on both your check and the other paperwork.
 
3. You owe less than $2,500.00 at the end of a quarter and are not required to deposit via EFTPS. In this case, you may send payment with your 941 return.
