Is ProSeries changing payment instructions for Q4 estimates on standard letters? IRS no long accepting checks after Sept. 30.

Treasury Always Chickens Out

Maybe I just missed it, but where do you see that the IRS is no longer accepting checks after September 30th?

Maybe I just missed the update.  Or maybe you are misreading the Executive Order?

"Effective September 30, 2025, and to the extent permitted by law, the Secretary of the Treasury shall cease issuing paper checks ".

"As soon as practicable, and to the extent permitted by law, all payments made to the Federal Government shall be processed electronically".

Side Note:  I haven't seen guidance yet, but "processed" electronically MIGHT include them accepting paper checks but then "processing" it as an electronic transaction, rather than a check transaction (which they may already do; see below).

When you provide a check as payment, you authorize us either to use information from your check to make a one-time electronic fund transfer from your account or to process the payment as a check transaction. When we use information from your check to make an electronic fund transfer, funds may be withdrawn from your account as soon as the same day we receive your payment, and you will not receive your check back from your financial institution.
