Is there an option to check to show online payment instructions for balance due instead of mailing a check?

Hey, that's a great idea.

I think there is a way to add that to the client letter but you will have to compose it.  It would be nice if it just did that like it does for mailing.  But I imagine all the steps/clicks at irs.gov would be rather lengthy though.  And if it changed...

Regardless, it is a good idea.  With all the postal theft going on in my area and check washing, I am extremely hesitant to mail a check and I pass my hesitation onto my clients urging them to make the payments online. If the steps were listed, it might be easier for them to do so.  The last thing I need is a bunch of people calling me on April 14th asking how for help making their payment online.

I prepared a paper that I give to all clients that have balances due.  It shows all Federal and state websites to pay and it it explains different methods to pay (check, online, debit, credit, installment method, etc.).  Once a year I update it as state websites change all the time.
