How should payments be remitted to the Internal Revenue Service?
Payments are made directly to the Internal Revenue Service and are not sent to the private collection agencies (PCAs). At no time should payment be made or sent to a PCA. The PCA correspondence will include a payment voucher with the appropriate IRS mailing address that the taxpayer should use when submitting their remittance. Checks and money orders should be made payable to the “United States Treasury” and include the taxpayer’s social security number (SSN) and tax year(s). Taxpayers should not send cash. Payments should be mailed to: Internal Revenue Service P.O. Box 970032 St Louis, MO 63197-0032 The IRS also offers several electronic payment options, which are available at www.irs.gov/efile/article/0,,id=97400,00.
