If you owe taxes to the Arizona Department of Revenue (ADOR), you have several payment options available. Arizona provides electronic and mail payment methods to help taxpayers pay balances due on individual income tax returns and other tax liabilities.
How to Pay Your Arizona Tax Debt
- Pay Online: Visit www.AZTaxes.gov to make a payment using a credit card, debit card, or electronic funds transfer (EFT). Note that credit card payments may incur a processing fee.
- Payment Options: You can pay in full or set up a payment plan if you are unable to pay the full amount immediately. Contact ADOR for installment agreement details.
- Payment Deadline: Pay as much as possible by the original due date of the return. Interest accrues on unpaid tax balances, and penalties may apply when taxes are not paid by the required deadline
- Pay by Mail: Taxpayers may mail a check or money order with the appropriate payment voucher, if applicable, following the instructions provided by the Arizona Department of Revenue.
- Payment Plans: If you cannot pay your balance in full, you may request an installment payment agreement. Approval is subject to Arizona Department of Revenue requirements and eligibility rules.
Important Notes
- Filing an extension of time to file does not extend the time to pay tax owed.
- Interest generally continues to accrue until the tax liability is paid in full.
- Taxpayers who cannot pay in full should consider requesting a payment arrangement as soon as possible.
- Always include identifying information and any required payment voucher when submitting payments by mail.
