Effective September 30, 2025, the U.S. government is phasing out paper checks for most federal payments and collections under Executive Order 14247, “Modernizing Payments To and From America’s Bank Account”. Agencies are directed to use electronic funds transfers (EFT), such as direct deposit or prepaid cards, to improve security, reduce fraud, and increase efficiency.

In an effort to assist with this transition to electronic services, Schauer & Associates, PC provides the following quick access links for you to manage electronic payments to the IRS and other potential states most commonly used by our clients.  These links will lead you to the applicable agencies webpage for you to manage your payments in any of the methods you choose to utilize.
