I Cannot Pay My Balance in Full, What Should I Do?

Failure to pay the balance in full by the due date may result in the referral of your account to a collection agency.

To minimize monthly penalty and interest charges we recommend that you instead make partial payments for as much as you can, as often as you can.

You may make partial payments by mail or online.

I Disagree With the Amount Owed

Please review your records and carefully review the submitted return. If you need to make changes to your return then you need to file an amended return.

My Payment Isn't Showing on My Account

After this time frame if your payment has not been processed, please provide proof of payment by submitting copies of the front and back of the cashed check or money order along with a copy of the notice that you’ve received.
