Welcome to Flyertalk.

Based on your User ID and posting pattern I assume you are affiliated with payUSAtax.com. Am I mistaken?

What about debit card for a flat fee of 3.95$ at www.officialpayments.com?

You can send a check for free.
Remember most debit card purchases do not get points.
You have to use it as a pIN less transaction (like a credit card - for points!)

In one recent case, the IRS came and audited a client two years in a row. The trigger? The client kept a lot of cash in the bank account. So you never know when they will come or what they will do.

Continental Business Debit MasterCard
 
If I use my Continental Business Debit Mastercard to pay my taxes using this site, will I receive the OnePass miles? When I go through the process, I am not prompted to enter my PIN online. Therefore, for purposes of determining whether I will receive points, is this debit payment truly considered a "cash" transaction?

Your thoughts are welcomed.

Similar question, anyone tried using Citibank's AA Debit card to pay your tax. No PIN is requested from payusatax.com and can we earn miles with Airlines Debit cards? payusatax.com only charges $3.89 for Debit card transaction.

It has been mentioned that the Official Payments Corp charges a flat fee of $3.95. However their website states,

The Convenience fee is 2.35% of the payment amount.
A minimum convenience fee of $3.95 applies.

To me, this means that the flat fee of $3.95 is good only for small amounts (an amount for which 2.35% of the payed amount is less than $3.95). For larger amounts, you do pay the full 2.35%??

See the Official Payments Fee Calculator here which shows that the debit card fee is $3.95 for any payment amount. Note also that Mastercard debit cards are not listed:

IF anyone has success with debit card and points with payusatax, PM me.
There was already a long thread about cards and taxes, as not being eligible.

Interesting thread, glad I don't have a lot of cash in my bank account :)

o, I forgot to mention that was a corporate client, and it probably should not apply to individuals.

I received a post card in the mail back in December. It is part of the Chase CO MC SMART and SMARTER promotion. I posted about it in this thread:

http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/conti...t-smarter.html

The new offer I just received is for 2,500 bonus miles per month for 20 or more monthly purchases.

Are there cards that gives you miles/points for non-PIN Debit transactions? I imagine not, hence eliminating benefit of paying taxes via debit pin transaction, but figured I would ask.
