“We will earn points on the credit card for the 1K we’re probably going to owe the IRS then lo and behold I’ll magically have a check from the IRS in May to pay my credit card bill never once having to dip into the CD or savings account.”

I thought of using my cc to pay taxes in past years, but found that the convenience fee exceeds the value of the points/miles I could earn. Were you able to come ahead?
