The Electronic Federal Tax Payment System (EFTPS) is a 24/7 service provided by the US Department of the Treasury that allows taxpayers to make tax payments over the phone or the Internet.
The system allows taxpayers to file directly with the IRS using the applicant’s social security number and personal PIN.
Fraudulent emails have been sent in the past targeting EFTPS users stating ID numbers have been rejected or asking users to follow an embedded link to change personal information.
