Yes, you can pay your federal income taxes to the IRS by credit card or debit card. Should you do it? Maybe. Here’s how it works:
When you file your tax return through an official IRS e-pay service provider (see list below), you’ll have an option to pay your tax bill by credit card or debit card now or schedule a later date.

You will then pay a convenience fee to the service provider.
