# Tax Filing Payment Method Navigation
When filing taxes online and encountering payment method selection pages, distinguish between payment timing (Pay now vs. Pay later) and payment mechanism (Direct Debit, Credit Card, Direct Pay, Mail). Select payment methods that avoid entering sensitive financial data into the tax software—e.g., 'Direct Pay' or 'Mail in payment with Form 1040-V' route payment through IRS channels instead. Handle timeout dialogs by dismissing and retrying the main action. If a page appears to block on required attachments, attempt to proceed anyway—the form may allow continuation.
