At The Mather Group, LLC (TMG), we encourage our clients make all federal tax payments online via the direct-pay function on the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) website. Why is this our recommendation?

You can avoid writing checks, using stamps and envelopes, and
relying on a postal or parcel delivery service.

All you need is private internet access to make safe and secure
online payments.

You can schedule secure online payments to be made automatically
on specific days of your choosing, up to one year in advance.
