International taxpayers who do not have a U.S. bank account may follow the instructions below to transfer funds from their foreign bank account directly to the Internal Revenue Service for payment of their individual or business tax liabilities.
Caution: Although this method of payment is available to anyone with a foreign bank account (which includes many types of financial institutions), it can be costly. Please consider other options, including paying by credit card, to avoid the high cost of international wire transfer. For more information on how to use the Electronic Federal Tax Payment System (EFTPS) or other U.S. based payment methods, please visit the Make a Payment site.
In order to complete an international wire transfer through your foreign bank, you will need to complete the Same-Day Taxpayer Payment WorksheetPDF with the proper Tax Type Code and tax period (year and/or quarter) so that the funds will be properly applied to your IRS tax liability. After you have completed the worksheet, take it to your bank to request international wiring.
The financial institution may charge you a fee for the wiring service. If your foreign bank needs assistance, they may contact the Federal Tax Payment Service Customer Service at 314-425-1810 (Not toll free). If you have questions regarding international wiring, please contact your local office internationally for assistance.
