Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT)

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.

Phone

If you receive a bill from the Department of Revenue for excise tax, you can make your payment over the phone using your credit card. The pay by phone option is only available to taxpayers who receive a bill from the Department for outstanding excise tax.
