It&rsquo;s literally never been easier to get that tremendous debt off your mind in one step. Let&rsquo;s take a look at the different options you have available to you.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Credit Card <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In the past, many people have asked themselves, &ldquo;Can you pay taxes with a credit card?&rdquo; Well, now the answer is a resounding yes. You can use any card you want to pay off your debt. You simply use one of the e-pay service providers listed at the IRS website. They can tell you how to pay taxes with a credit card. Also, if you used a tax preparation service, they may have a way for you to pay taxes with a credit card through them. If this is the case, ask away. No matter who you use there will be a small one-time fee. Typically, this is around 2.5% of your total, give or take a percent or so. There&rsquo;s one small upside to when you pay taxes with a credit card. Often, you&rsquo;ll receive rewards for doing this. They can be Skymiles or even points towards merchandise. Sometimes, it&rsquo;s even cash back!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Debit Card <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you happen to have the funds already in your bank account, then congrats! You can probably breathe a little easier than the rest of us. You can also choose to use your debit card to pay your taxes. While you don&rsquo;t get any rewards, you also don&rsquo;t run the risk of getting hit with major interest.
