Check made out to IRS will have your address not theirs is what FM'er is reporting. This could complicate a payment to IRS. I guess i shouldn't say it won't work, but due to your address on the check the chances of working are lower.

Why does your address being on the check lower the chances of it working?

Not if you enter the payee info manually. I sent a check to my father and they wouldn't know his name from the LA County tax assessors office.

Between car payments, mortgage, and using the card for daily spend, I should max out the yearly amount... so I probably won't bother with anything else.

OK, has anybody successfully paid their property tax with BB?
I've read that some have paid their Wells Fargo mortgage... but has anybody run into problems with this? Do you simply enter in your account number (and address, I presume) in the comments section? If taxes become an issue, I'll try paying my mortgage, but I'd really rather pay taxes. My main checking acct is with Wells. I'm worried that it'll raise some red flags if I pay my Wells mortgage if the checking account has more than enough cash in it!

Why would this matter? Wouldn't another plausible explanation just be that you wanted to use a different account, maybe because you're keeping the funds in your checking account for a different purpose or something. As long as your mortgage gets paid, it doesn't matter where the funds are coming from.

I'll probably just pay my other non-IB cc bill this month until i get a clear confirmation on mortgage payment details.

Would buying Vanilla Reloads with Citi AA card at Office Depot be treated as cash advance by Citi, or still a purchase transaction like Ink?
