  Use this for any type of payment, including installments or current-period balances.

Enter the period you are filing for. For example: If your period ends on March 31, and the payment is due April 30, choose March 31 as the period end date.

Step 5: Confirm the Payment Date

Choose the date for the payment to process. The funds will be withdrawn on the date you select.
