What if I cannot pay the tax due?

What if I cannot pay the tax that I owe?

If you cannot pay the tax you owe but you can complete your return on time, file your return by the due date without the payment.  This will prevent a late-filing penalty from being assessed.  You will, however, owe a late-payment penalty and interest on any tax you owe after the original due date, even if you have an extension of time to file. 

You have the option to pay the amount you owe electronically by using our website or by credit.
