There are three methods to pay the tax.

Electronic funds withdrawal (direct debit) if filing electronically.

You must pay the tax in full with your Form 2290.

Using EFTPS is voluntary, but you must enroll in EFTPS before you can use it. To get more information or to enroll in EFTPS, visit the EFTPS website at www.eftps.gov or call 1-800-555-4477 (24 hours a day, 7 days a week).

If you make your payment using EFTPS, do not include the payment voucher. If filing a paper Form 2290, mail Form 2290 to:

Department of the Treasury
Internal Revenue Service
Cincinnati, OH 45999-0031

For EFTPS payments to be on time, you must initiate the transaction at least 1 business day before the date the payment is due.

If you use this method, you must also complete the payment voucher. See Payment voucher below.

Do not send cash. Make your check or money order payable to United States Treasury. Write your name, address, EIN, Form 2290, and the date (as entered in
Box 3) on your payment.
Detach the voucher and send it with the Form 2290, both copies of Schedule 1, and your payment. If you filed electronically, do not send Form 2290 and Schedule 1 with the payment voucher. See Where To File, earlier.
Do not staple your payment to the voucher or Form 2290.
