How to pay with cash Be sure to start this process well ahead of your payment due date to avoid interest and penalties. Step 1: Choose a payment processor Visit the ACI Payments, Inc. site ($1.50 service fee per payment) or the Pay1040.com site ($2.50 service fee per payment). Step 2: Enter the information needed to process your payment You will first need to select the tax form and year the payment will apply to; then enter your taxpayer information. When prompted to select a payment method, select "Pay With Cash." You will be prompted to enter an email address so you can receive a payment barcode to take to the retailer. Step 3: Check your email for confirmation and barcode Once you complete the pre-payment process, you'll receive an email from the payment processor, (customerservice@acipayonline.com or noreply@pay1040.com) confirming the information you entered. The IRS will then verify your information. After the IRS verifies your information, your payment processor (ACI Payments Inc. or Pay1040) will then send you a second email with a link to your payment barcode and instructions. Step 4: Take your barcode and cash payment to a participating retailer Either print the payment barcode at home or send it to your smart phone. Take your payment barcode and payment to any participating retailer to make your payment. You will receive a receipt from the store after they accept your cash. This receipt is confirmation of your payment and should be kept for your records.
