Global Payments announced that its Link2Gov unit has been selected by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service as a preferred digital payments provider for the 2026 tax season. Through the Pay1040*com platform, taxpayers will be able to make federal tax payments using credit cards, debit cards, and digital wallets, supporting the IRS’s broader effort to modernize federal payment systems and expand electronic payment options.
The partnership aligns with a March 2025 U.S. executive order encouraging federal agencies to transition toward fully digital payment and disbursement systems. Global Payments said the initiative aims to improve convenience, security, and accessibility for taxpayers making payments to the IRS.
Link2Gov has served as an authorized IRS payment processor for more than two decades and facilitates millions of federal tax transactions each year, while also providing electronic payment solutions for federal, state, and local government agencies.
