The EFT program involves the transfer of funds by electronic means. The transactions are initiated by the taxpayer and then a bank is authorized to debit or credit an account. You can use EFT if you file electronically or by paper.
Check
You can pay by check if you file a paper return or file electronically through e-file. If you e-file, you will receive a payment voucher to mail with your check.
E-check
If you file electronically, you can pay by e-check. If you pay by e-check, you will be charged a $1.00 fee for the use of this service.
Credit Card
E-filing your tax return gives you the option of paying with a credit card. You can pay your taxes with an American Express, Discover, Master Card, or Visa credit card. A convenience fee for processing credit card payments is a flat 2.5% ($1.00 minimum) for all taxpayers.
