Yep, the IRS accepts the major credit cards: American Express, Discover, MasterCard, and VISA. If your card offers bonuses, you can earn points, miles, or money back. (Check your card issuer for terms, conditions or eligibility details.)

Of course, convenience comes with a price tag – 2.49% of the total amount you owe for most cards.* This means that for every $1,000 in taxes you owe the IRS, you'll pay an extra $24.90 if you choose to pay by credit card.

Your card will be charged when your return is accepted. The transaction is handled just like any other credit card charge; you can pay the full balance due or make monthly payments.

* If you belong to the VISA Personal Signature Debit program, the convenience fee is a flat $3.95.
