Mailing a tax payment to the IRS or a state tax agency is a straightforward option if you prefer not to pay online or by phone. This covers how to send checks or money orders by mail, which address to use for your state or the federal government, what information to include with your payment, and how long the mail takes to arrive. You land here when you need to know the mechanics of getting a payment into the system through the postal service.

The articles answer questions like where exactly to mail your payment, what to write on your check, whether to use certified mail or regular mail, how to track whether the tax agency received it, and what happens if your payment gets lost in transit. You'll also find information about payment deadlines and how to handle situations where you're cutting it close to the filing date.
