West Virginia offers several payment options for personal income tax due, including electronic and traditional methods. Taxpayers can pay via electronic funds transfer (EFT), which includes ACH Credits (initiated by the taxpayer’s financial institution) and ACH Debits (initiated by the Tax Division). Additionally, major credit cards are accepted for payment, though fees may apply. These options are available through the West Virginia Tax Division’s MyTaxes website or by visiting the Credit Card Payments page for more details.
Electronic Payment Options
- ACH Credits: Payments initiated by your financial institution. You can apply online for EFT or use Form WV/EFT-5.
- ACH Debits: Payments authorized by the taxpayer and electronically withdrawn from the taxpayer’s bank account through the approved West Virginia electronic payment system.
- Credit Cards: All major credit cards are accepted, with potential processing fees. More information is available on the Credit Card Payments page.
Payment with Tax Return
If you file your West Virginia income tax return and pay the remaining balance due by January 31 of the following year, you are not required to make the fourth quarter estimated tax payment. The payment is applied toward your annual West Virginia income tax liability. This provision allows taxpayers who owe tax with their annual return to avoid making the final estimated tax installment when the balance is paid by the required date.
