I've been on a payment plan with the IRS before and trust me, it's not worth it. The interest they charge is a killer and way higher than anything you'd likely pay on your credit card.

In other words, don't make the mistake of thinking that you can pay off your taxes with your credit card or with a convenience check and then turn around and file bankruptcy to get rid of that debt. See 11 U.S.C. 523(a)(13).

With credit card payments, I'm pretty sure the IRS does not allow the CC companies to charge THEM a fee (as is typical with other businesses that allow credit card payments) so the CC companies simply transfer that fee back to the consumer. Checks will still save you money at the expense of higher labor costs which get added to the IRS budget.
