The IRS Is Retiring the Old Estimated Tax Payment Rails. Here's the Build Decision That Followed.
The IRS is dismantling the tax payment rails firms have relied on for decades, and the replacements were never designed for how firms actually move client money. Paper checks are gone, EFTPS for individuals is winding down, and the last mile is up for grabs.
The IRS Didn't Fix Estimated Tax Payments. It Just Took Away the Checkbook.
Executive Order 14247 phased out federal paper checks, pushing firms onto Direct Pay and EFTPS replacements built for a single person paying once, not a firm running hundreds of payments a month. The mandate arrived. The firm-grade replacement did not.
Tax payment execution, inside your product
Tax and accounting platforms can now run tax payment execution inside their own product, through a widget library you install in your own app.
Where the Workflow Stops: Why We Are Building the Payment Layer Under Thomson Reuters SafeSend
For two quarters, buyers on demo calls have described the same broken shape: workflow, delivery, and prep run smoothly, then the tax payment falls out into a portal nobody wants to log into. Here is why we built the payment layer under Thomson Reuters SafeSend.
Your Tax Software Isn't the Problem. Your Clients Are.
Firms keep chasing the perfect tax-payment tool while their real bottleneck sits somewhere else entirely. Client adoption is the project the software cannot solve on its own, and the September deadline is closing the runway to figure it out.
Remitian Partners with Thomson Reuters, Integrating AI-Powered Tax Payment Infrastructure into SafeSend
Remitian is partnering with Thomson Reuters to bring tax payment execution into SafeSend, giving customers in the United States a single path from tax preparation through client tax payments. The final manual step in the tax workflow becomes part of the workflow.
Remitian now supports Form 990 filers
Remitian now supports exempt organization payments. Form 990-T and Form 990-PF, balance due and estimated tax, federal, on the same workflow as every other client.
Who Actually Asked Accounting Firms to Start Moving Client Money?
Federal payment modernization is pushing accounting firms into a payment execution role they never asked for, while vendors keep selling it as advisory upside. The gap between the pitch and what partners actually say is this quarter's real story.
We Were Doing the Most Expensive Part of Tax for Free
The IRS is forcing every client onto digital payment rails, and the accounting work that comes with it, walking clients through portals, confirming payments, cleaning up bad routing numbers, already looks like a concierge service. Firms just forgot to charge for it.
Why the Best Tax Payment Tool Might Still Lose
The average accounting firm runs ten apps. One in three runs eleven or more. In four back to back demos, partners said the same thing. The tool works, but it would be one more place their clients log in. So they passed.
Where Tax Payments Still Move on Paper: The Local Long Tail Nobody Built For
Federal payments are going fully electronic on a schedule. The local layer isn't. Firms describe city licenses paid by check, bank portals walked one client at a time, and entity mismatches at state DORs that quietly eat their senior staff hours.
The Last Mile of Tax: Filing Got Automated. Payment Didn't.
Filing got automated decades ago. Payment never did, and most firms are still cutting checks by hand while the IRS quietly closes the rails they depend on. The compliance stack ends exactly where the real client work begins.
You Asked. We Shipped.
A release built from your feedback: Smart Approval, expanded extension payments, clearer payment status, and saveable views. Here's what's new.
Stop Building Your Own Tax Payment Stack
The jurisdiction coverage map is a multi-year build most software platforms can no longer afford. Thomson Reuters paid $600M to skip it. Six recent demo calls show the rest of the market doing the same math.
The Quarter Your Estimated Tax Payment Process Quietly Breaks
Partners describe their quarterly estimated-payment workflow as "very tedious." Hundreds of manual portal logins, books outgrowing the process, regulators about to remove the floor. The manual fallback firms still lean on runs out by late 2026.
Why Clients Keep Paying the Wrong Tax, and Why the Firm Always Cleans It Up
Firms keep describing the same loop on prospect calls. Clients pay the wrong year, wrong entity, twice, or not at all. Then the partner emails the state to fix it. The instructional email is no longer a deliverable. It is a tax on the firm itself.

Remitian was named Highly Commended for Best Embedded Payments Solution at the 2026 Banking Tech Awards USA, capping a season in which it processed $100 million in US tax payments.
The Receipt Problem in Tax Payments: 'Client Paid' Isn't the Same as 'We Can Prove It'
Tax services firms can initiate payments. They cannot easily prove what was paid, when, or who authorized it once a notice arrives months later. EO 14247 takes the 2026 filing season fully electronic, and the proof workflow is still a shared drive.
The Executive Order Nobody in Accounting Is Reading
The Executive Order everyone is reading as a crypto win actually clears the regulatory path for embedded payment infrastructure in accounting and tax. Most firms have not noticed yet, and the platforms quietly embedding payments are about to lap them.

The Partner Who Wanted Out of Tax Payments
A senior partner is trying to step back from tax payments because penalties land on the firm. The new IRS electronic-payment mandate just closed every workaround that let firms keep this at arm's length. The work is landing on staff anyway.

Your Accounting Software Just Became a Liability
CCH. UltraTax. ProConnect. SafeSend. Excellent at what they do. But they're not payment infrastructure. The moment money needs to move, they hand the baton to a spreadsheet and a prayer.
