I make payments directly to the IRS and to the Mass DOR https://wfb.dor.state.ma.us/webfile/business/public/webforms/login/login.aspx is the state login page https://www.eftps.com/eftps/ is the Federal site You have to register, which includes providing bank information (account, routing number). They seem pretty secure and I have been using them both for years. It occurs to me that you may be filing as an independent and not a corporation so these might not help. They should point you in the right direction, though. I don’t see the value of paying someone else to file these for you unless you are paying them to issue paychecks, etc. anyway.

You can make direct payments to the IRS using the federal EFTPS see http://www.irs.gov/efile/article/0,,id=97400,00.html or (amazing) you can still send a check - and the cash will be in your account a day or so longer Rich On 6/14/2010 7:52 PM, Tom Adams- Reelife Productions wrote: Does anyone in hidden-tech make quarterly payments online? It looks like  https://www.officialpayments.com is the "official" place to pay but wanted to check to make sure it's not a scam site or they charge additional fees, etc.  thanks for any help you can give.  Regards,  Tom Adams 413.575.9707 Director/Owner Reelife Productions <http://www.reelifeproductions.com/> - cool digital media stuff • not boring or dumb Folktography by Tom <http://www.folktographybytom.com/> <http://web.me.com/ReelifeProductions> Tom's other Links -- Rich Roth CEO On-the-net Bringing you complex online systems since the net was young http://www.tnrglobal.com - Blog: http://www.rizbang.com Helping move the world: http://www.earththrives.com -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
