Can you actually pay your taxes with credit cards to get bonuses? I am assuming for the sign up bonuses. I owe a pretty large tax bill every year and would like to pay with credit card then pay that off at the end of the month.

IRS will charge you a hefty enough fee to put it on a card that it wipes out any bonus value. Also a lot of cards now might consider that a cash withdrawal and charge you a fee.

Fee is like 1.95%. I use my 2% Cashback card to pay or if going for a bonus, I use that card (eg Hilton surpass with free night @15k spend a year).

Offer to pay that amount to a family member through a non cash purchase if they’re open to it. Then they can give you the cash to deal with taxes.

No … find something they want to buy, buy it on credit, and have them pay you cash.

I pay my remaining income tax due with credit cards. The fee for one of the services is 1.87%. If I don’t have a sign up bonus that beats 2.6%, then I’ll use my Bank of America credit card for the 2.62% back. I’m still saving a bit.

I generally use a CC for my all of my taxes - Federal, State income, and state property tax. The fee is usually a little north of 2%, so most of the time I’m breaking even on the points earning.

It’s a great way to quickly earn any sign up bonuses though.

Hi all! To qualify for an L1A visa, do you have to be a senior manager / executive level or does it work as long as you’re a manager? I just moved out of the US because the H1b lottery didn’t work out for me, and I’m thinking rather than spending 1 or 2 years in my home country and go back as a senior, I’d much rather work here a bit longer, get that manager title, wait a year, and then go back as I think that would be the fastest route to green card..? Any thoughts/advice? I’m from 🇰🇷 :) TYI!!
