If I owed the IRS, I would pay in a check. My parents expect a check from the IRS when they do their taxes.

This is going to hurt the elderly.

4. Why is he doing this? I know it is to harm but what "reason" does he give?

I am using his lack of business ability to teach my gsons how not to use, save or invest money.

8. They want to go to Crypto

10. Thanks for the info. Before the second coming of the worst business man in the world, I told my gsons to

do anything with the gifts of money I have been giving them except use it to buy cryptos.

5. But just think of all the credit card fees the IRS will get to pay.

(Transaction fees normally paid by merchant taking the card.)

7. I think that's it

Some Trump donor will get the contract to do the transactions for the IRS and charge fees both ways.

6. Just paid our 2024 taxes on line. Far less than I thought, considering.

And now I have to do my French taxes.
Which won't be excessive.

with Paypal?

11. Looks like there are plenty of exceptions, and bet the transition is long.

“While paper checks are going away in most cases, the order does provide for some payment recipients to continue receiving paper checks in certain instances. The order allows for the Secretary of the Treasury to review and revise procedures including exceptions for:

Those who do not have access to banking services or electronic payment systems.

Certain emergency payments were electronic disbursement would cause undue hardship.

National security- or law enforcement-related activities where non-EFT transactions are necessary or desirable.

Other circumstances as determined by the Secretary of the Treasury, as reflected in regulations or other guidance.”

12. Well, if I wire the payments to the IRS, that's an extra charge . . . . .
