Do Not Mail Checks To The IRS 

All payments to the IRS, other than through an approved Tax Software Program, need to be paid via IRS.GOV. Why? Because we are starting to see issues when folks mail checks to the IRS with too many hands touching the check payments. IRS is blaming the USPS and the Banks. USPS is blaming the IRS and the Banks. Banks are blaming the IRS and USPS. Plus thieves are sometimes stealing the checks and using the check info to get into folks bank accounts. For a couple of our clients, it has become a big mess.

Bottom line, going forward it is never ever a good idea to mail checks to the IRS or really anyone these days. Paying via IRS.GOV is VERY easy, just like paying Utilities, Credit Card Payments, and others online.
