Online payment of your taxes using IRS Direct Pay and Minnesota e-Services is a secure way to ensure your taxes are paid and received timely, and can be scheduled up to 30 days in advance. 


There is no fee for using these services. If you wish to pay with a credit card, there is an additional fee assessed by a 3rd party. Please see the IRS or MN Revenue payment pages for more information.   


We make every effort to keep these instructions updated, but we have noticed that from time to time, the IRS and Minnesota Revenue may make minor changes to the script we've included below.
