Businesses can use credit cards for taxes

I am not one of those who subscribe to the idea of having multiple credit cards and flashing them wherever I go. My belief is that credit cards and their use doesn’t spell good news unless you are a careful and thrifty spender. But every once in a while, credit card companies, and sometimes the government spring certain surprises that make me want to change my opinion that credit cards are dangerous.

So, now that I’ve psyched you enough, let’s get on with the news. If you are a businessperson, then get your credit card out and ready for the IRS. The IRS or Internal Revenue Service has now begun accepting credit card payments for certain business taxes. Another piece of good news is that the convenience fee paid or incurred by a business making a tax payment with a credit card can be deducted as a business expense.

In case you are interested in making secure federal tax payments with your American Express, Discover, MasterCard and Visa cards, all you need to do is visit their official site at officialpayments.com
