If there is a balance due showing on the 941 form, payment information can be submitted to the IRS electronically if the balance due is $2,500 or less. The payment information will include the routing transit number, bank account number, and bank account type. This will allow the IRS to debit the bank account for the balance due payment.

Can I make a 941 or NYS-45 payment if the form has already been filed?
If a 941 or NYS-45 was already filed through the E-file Center, the balance due payment, withholding payment, or unemployment insurance payment cannot be made through Yearli. The payment information must be included on the original filing of these forms in order to make the payment through Yearli.
If the form was already filed without the payment information, the payment still can be made online:
- 941 payments can be made at https://www.eftps.gov/eftps/. If you do not already have an account setup there, you will need to setup an account and obtain an EFTPS PIN to make the 941 balance due payment electronically.
- NYS-45 payments can be made at https://tax.ny.gov. If you do not already have an account setup there, you will need to setup an account to make the payment online.
