About EFT

Taxpayers whose average payments exceed $5,000 are required to make electronic payments or Electronic Funds Transfers (EFT). Taxpayers whose payment amounts do not fall within the mandated thresholds may volunteer to pay electronically, provided the Department is prepared to accept electronic payments for the tax type requested. Payments may be submitted by ACH Debit using LDR's online Debit payment program or telephone-based Debit program, or taxpayers may initiate ACH Credit payments via their financial institutions.
