How do you pay your quarterly taxes?

A couple of years back when I started paying quarterly taxes someone told me to send a certified check.(don't remember who or why they thought that was better) That's fine but it costs $10 per shot from the bank and I have to go through the trouble of going get it. Do you just send a personal check?

Personal check. What is the advantage of a certified check?

That's pretty much my question. I was just paying it that way because someone who also paid quarterly tax was doing it. Figured I'd poll MT and make sure I wasn't missing something.

By check...I'm not using an online service and paying a fee, when a regular ol' check works just fine.

Definitely. I don't always pay it online, but often do to meet minimum spend on a rewards CC that will get me much more value than the cost of 1.87%. I'm usually only paying a few grand anyways.

Personal check. I don't see the need to pay it any other way.

Thanks guys. Definitely going to switch over to the personal check.

You sure they didn't tell you to send it via certified mail, not a certified check? We recommend certified Mail.

Do you have to pay fees to pay online? Do you do bank draft or credit card?
I once read on my return or somewhere when filing if I did bank draft they had authorization to take more money out when I read the fine fine print. So, I vowed to never set up a bank draft.

Point earning debit card (suntrust delays for me - although they are jacking with it now). 2.59 online fee for several thousand points - easy math

Personal check, though it's horseshite that I have to pay quarterly. What in the hell is the difference if I have a bigger liability at the end of the year? I'm a big boy and can handle saving and paying on April 15. What a damn racket.

Personal check. I make copies of everything for records

I pay them on the IRS site and transfer from my bank account.

I'd bet that person said they send a personal check by certified mail to establish proof of mailing on the actual due date for their payment. But that still would cost at least $3.60 per payment in postal fees.
Many of my clients pay nowadays using EFTPS.

Ha. I'm not sure actually. That's a good thought though.
