Filing taxes electronically- have a question

We have someone do our taxes for us every year and we've always mailed in a paper return. Yes, my husband and I live in the dark ages.

I got everything together for our taxes over the weekend and my husband is delivering it to our CPA tomorrow. She's filing electronically this year.

My question (and please, no eye rolling here- we're new at this) is- we're going to owe taxes. So how do we pay? I'd really prefer that they not debit my checking account. No problems with the funds at all, but I don't want the IRS to have access to debiting anything out of my account. Do they accept credit cards?

And we're also going to have to pay estimated taxes this year. We normally do that quarterly, but I noticed on the CPA's questionnaire that I think we can make one payment instead of splitting it into 1/4's. Anyone familiar with that?


Why is it, when I have a 50/50 guess at something, I'm always 100% wrong?
