Title: 2015-01-15 Forbes- Bitcoin Breaks Out, You Can Now Pay The IRS In Cryptocurrency
Post by: pabloangello on January 15, 2014, 10:50:14 PM
SnapCard — the service that allows you to buy pretty much anything on the internet — is now allowing you use your bitcoin to pay something else: your tax bill to the Internet Revenue Service.

The San Meteo-based company today announced the capability one week in advance of the release of a new bill-pay feature, which allows a consumer to pay their bills automatically every month using the digital currency.

I could use this service if it were expanded to Canada to allow payments to the CRA.

+1. I might be missing something, but that's a pretty big step towards being able to live and work in the US and never have to touch or own fiat. That's huge.

That is big. Someone who is paid in BTC might be able to cut the cord.

They don't say in the article whether they insure the price of bitcoin they quote as you put your payment in.  Seems obvious they would, but does anyone know for sure?
