TaxAct will only prompt for payment related to our products and services. Therefore, you are billed during the printing or e-filing steps for the TaxAct program itself. We do not collect payment for any taxes due.
For payments related to taxes owed to your state, TaxAct will provide you with the available options (outlined below) or notify you in your filing instructions on how to make your tax payment. It is essential to carefully review and print your filing instructions as prompted and to check the status of your return.
Direct Withdrawal: If permitted by your state, you may enter your bank routing information to facilitate a direct withdrawal of taxes owed. The details sent to your state will appear on the return, and the transaction is processed directly between your state and your bank. This service does not incur an additional fee. Please note that not all states allow direct withdrawal.
Mail a Check: Alternatively, you may be able to mail a paper check. To do so, print the payment voucher from within your TaxAct return and mail it, along with the paper check, to the specified address. The address can be found in the filing instructions, which you are prompted to print, or by checking your e-filing status.
Credit/Debit Card: If your state supports this option, you can make your payment through the Official Payments website. This third-party service processes your payment directly and does not involve TaxAct. Please note that a convenience fee is applied by Official Payments Corporation. TaxAct does not share your credit card information with this third-party service.
You can review your filing instructions to verify which payment method you selected. Any additional follow-up instructions will also be provided for your reference.
