<prompt> Human: Help! I owe the IRS some money. Ive tried to find an answer with the IRS but thats proved to be really challenging. Can a third party a family member pay my tax debt with a personal check or does the money have to come from me? Thanks!!!  <response>: It has to come from you Im fairly sure. Have your family member get you the check, deposit it, then pay the IRS online.
