Web site: 8882paytax.com

From the S-1:

We are the leading provider of electronic payment options to government entities enabling consumers to use their credit cards to pay, by telephone or through the Internet, personal federal and state income taxes, sales and use taxes, property taxes and fines for traffic violations and parking citations. Our interactive voice response (IVR) toll-free telephone number, 1-888-2PAY-TAX/SM/, allows consumers to make payments and receive certain customer service information. Our 8882paytax.com Web site allows consumers to make certain payments, and we are working with our existing government clients, including the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), to enable consumers to make additional tax and other payments through the Internet. We are also enhancing our Web site so that consumers will be able to print receipts, save their personal data to facilitate future payments, obtain information regarding our services and access additional tax and other information.

We combine expertise in facilitating credit card transactions, an Internet focus and targeted marketing techniques to attract both government clients and consumers to our services. Our services allow our government clients to provide their constituents with user-friendly electronic payment options at no charge to the government entity. Consumers who use our payment services pay us a convenience fee that is added to their payment. We believe that consumers use our services for the convenience, the payment flexibility and the perquisites associated with paying by credit card.
