Paying Your IRS Tax Bill from Overseas, and Managing Rebates: A Simple, Secure Solution

Settling a U.S. tax liability with the IRS from overseas can be challenging.

Common issues include payment delays, rejected transactions, and unexpected interest or penalties for late payments.

These problems often occur when banks can’t verify IRS account details or when payment references are entered incorrectly, both of which are essential to ensure funds are allocated to the correct tax period or form.

The IRS beneficiary details should be added in the following format:

Setting up your IRS payment from overseas can feel daunting—especially if you’ve experienced delayed or failed payments before. Our team ensures every transfer goes smoothly so that funds are credited and allocated correctly to your IRS account.

When adding the beneficiary details, it’s essential that all required information is entered accurately in the payment reference field. We regularly assist clients at this stage to give complete peace of mind that everything is correct.

Once you select ‘Pay’ on the platform, simply choose the amount to send and enter your Payment Reference in the following order:

1. Tax Payer ID
2. Taxpayer name control
3. Taxpayer name
4. Tax type
5. Tax year
6. Tax month/quarter

Example:

Once the payment has been dispatched, funds typically credit with the IRS within 1 hour, and the payment confirmation and payment tracking can be found via your platform.

As part of our service, we often contact the IRS on behalf of our clients to confirm that the funds have credited and have been allocated.

Receiving an IRS Tax Rebate from Overseas

Receiving a tax rebate from the IRS is always welcome, but if no nominated U.S. bank account is provided, the refund often arrives as a physical cheque.

Cashing or depositing an IRS cheque overseas can be challenging, and many banks charge high processing fees or are unable to accept it at all.

We make this easier by providing clients with named, U.S.-based USD account details, helping to avoid the delays and costs associated with cheque deposits.

This solution is ideal if you no longer hold a U.S. bank account or want to simplify the process, and save money when it comes to converting the US Dollars you are receiving, into another currency.

When completing the rebate process with your Tax Advisor, simply provide these account details as the nominated bank account.

Once the refund is processed, the funds are allocated directly to your USD account, giving you full control over when to convert your dollars into the currency you need.
