For both methods, you will need your Social Security number and banking information. You must use an account not associated with any foreign banks.

You can pay individual income taxes, individual use tax and bills received from the department using our e-Services filing and payment system.

You can schedule payments in advance or pay at the last minute. If needed, you can even cancel payments up to one business day before the withdrawal date.

Use e-Services to make:

  • income tax return payments;
  • quarterly individual income estimated tax payments;
  • extension payments;
  • individual use tax payments;
  • payments resulting from amending previously filed returns;
  • payments of tax debts from previous years; and
  • payments for bills received from the department.
