Paying down the deficit
Apr. 5th, 2002 02:59 pmHmmm... intresting. Just found this while looking for who I need to send my tax check to (I owe, I owe...)
From the IRS Website:
I'm concerned about the public debt. Can I make a payment to reduce it?
Yes. If you wish to do so, enclose a separate check with your income tax return. Make it payable to "Bureau of the Public Debt." You can also send the check separately to:
Bureau of the Public Debt
Department G
Washington, DC. 20239-0601
You may be able to deduct this gift on your next tax return if you itemize your deductions. Do not add your gift to any tax you may owe. If you owe tax, make a separate check for that amount payable to "United States Treasury."
