Is a payment plan available?
We often receive questions about payment plans. Payment plans are not available until a balance reaches the Collections stage. If you receive a notice from us that has a Collection ID in the upper right corner, indicating your balance has reached Collections, you may be eligible to apply for a payment plan.
Additional option to pay
For instructions on how to establish the ACH credit option with the Department, see our informational page here. Please note that this option is not the preferred option for most taxpayers, especially for a one-time payment.
