How do I make a payment arrangement?

You should pay as much as possible with your tax return, and continue making payments while waiting for processing to be completed. To insure proper credit to your account, you should identify all of your payments with your Social Security number and the tax period for which the payment is intended.

When your return is processed, a Personal Income Tax Balance Due Notice will be sent to you, with a convenient check-off for payment options. If you cannot pay according to the terms on the notice, you may call our Compliance Division’s collection section at 410-974-2432 or 1-888-674-0016 to discuss your account.

Interest and penalty will be assessed on the unpaid balance, with interest continuing to accrue at the current rate of 13 percent per year.

You can also set up a payment agreement plan online.
