Why are you having to write two checks--don't you have enough money on
one account to cover what you owe?
I think you are asking for trouble if you do that. Remember that the
IRS is a giant bureaucracy. Anything confusing or out-of-the ordinary
will either get mixed up or will ring a bell. You must be a young
person who has never gotten mixed up in a bureaucratic snafu because
some small detail went awry. IMHO move the $$$ you owe into one
account and write one check.

I've done this a couple of times when the total amount exceeded the
FDIC insurance limit. Never heard a complaint from the IRS...
(I actually had an account at a bank that failed so I'm a little
sensitive about staying under the limit.)
