How to Pay Estimates
Federal Taxes
The easiest way to pay your federal taxes from the road is through the IRS’ new program called Direct Pay (for individuals) or Debit or Credit Card. A guide to paying your federal taxes can be found here: Federal Quarterly Tax Payment Options.
If you do not wish to use Direct Pay, paper vouchers are available Here and can be filled out and mailed in directly to the IRS with a check or money order. Paper voucher mailing addresses are divided up by the state of residence. If you have any questions about paying your federal taxes, please contact Abacus™ CPAs.

To pay your state taxes you will need to check your home states’ Department of Revenue website. You can pay online or print off a paper voucher from their website to mail in a check or money order. If you would like to use a paper voucher for your state estimate payment and are having difficulties locating the most recent vouchers, please contact our office at 417-380-5000.
