Making Form 1040 payments through EFTPS is anticipated to cease permanently in 2026, possibly sometime in September, for all individual account access.
If you currently use EFTPS to make your tax payments, you are encouraged to transition to IRS Direct Pay or IRS Online Account for Individuals in advance to become familiar with the system.
Do not expect to be able to make individual 3rd quarter 2026 estimated payment through EFTPS.
For more information, visit IRS Direct Pay or IRS Online Account for Individuals.
This shutdown only impacts individual 1040 payments. All other payments will continue to be processed through EFTPS without interruption.
