Income Tax Payments

Windward encourages clients to pay tax balances and estimated payments online.

Online payments are convenient and help ensure your payment is received on time. If you have questions about how or where to pay please contact us and we will walk through it with you.

A. Using your IRS online account
- Go to: www.IRS.gov/Account
- Sign in with your ID.me account or create one.
  - Important: When making payments, always use the Social Security number of the taxpayer listed first on your tax return (the primary taxpayer) so the payment is applied to the correct account.
- Your IRS account lets you make and view payments, see your tax records, and check refund status.
B. Using Direct Pay (one‑time payment)
- Go to: www.IRS.gov/Payments
- Select “Direct Pay with bank account.”
  - Important: When making payments, always use the Social Security number of the taxpayer listed first on your tax return (the primary taxpayer) so the payment is applied to the correct account.
- Choose:
  - “Pay individual tax” → “Pay personal taxes.”
  - For a tax return balance due: Reason = “Balance Due”; Apply payment to = “Income Tax – Form 1040”; choose the correct tax year.
  - For estimated payments: Reason = “Estimated Tax”; Apply payment to = “1040ES (for 1040, 1040A, 1040EZ)”; choose the correct tax year.
- You will need information from your prior‑year tax return to verify your identity.
Despite the risks, if you prefer to make IRS payments by mail, follow the instructions provided with your payment voucher.
