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
