MILWAUKEE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Link2Gov Corp., a Metavante (NYSE:MV) company and IRS-authorized payment processor since 2003, today is reminding individuals and businesses of their secure, convenient and reliable electronic payment options for settling-up with Uncle Sam before midnight on April 15 — the federal tax deadline. Taxpayers can beat the clock with an electronic payment initiated at any of Link2Gov’s payment portals: www.PAY1040.com, 1-888-PAY-1040 and www.businesstaxpayment.com. Taxpayers with questions about the payment services can reach Link2Gov customer service agents at 1-866-658-5465.

Federal balance-due tax payments initiated through Link2Gov payment services1 are authorized in real-time, with the IRS-recognized payment date being the same date the transaction is successfully completed. Taxpayers receive a transaction confirmation number as an assurance they have completed the payment process. PAY1040.com and businesstaxpayment.com accept American Express®, Discover®, MasterCard®, and Visa® credit and debit cards, as well as debit transactions from cards participating in the NYCE®, PULSE® and STAR® payments networks. New for Tax Season 2009, Link2Gov also accepts Bill Me Later payments at BML.PAY1040.com.

“The key attributes of our federal tax payment programs — speed, convenience and knowing an IRS bill has been instantly paid — become increasingly vital as the deadline closes in on taxpayers,” said Frank D’Angelo, group president, Metavante Payment Solutions, which includes Link2Gov. “Taxpayers choosing Link2Gov services receive peace of mind, and depending on their issuing bank’s card program, the opportunity to earn rewards as well.”
