How can I make a payment with my extension request?


If you need to make a payment, you must:
  1. Mail in a check or money order with the extension payment voucher, Form R-2868V;
  2. Make a payment using either a bank account or a credit card through LDR’s Individual Income Online Tax Filing application; or
  3. Make the payment electronically through tax preparation software that supports this option.
Please do not use Form R-540V, Individual Income Tax Electronic Filing Payment Voucher, to submit an extension payment. Form R-540V is to be used only by tax filers that have filed their tax returns through electronic filing and need to make a payment. An extension does not allow an extension of time to pay the tax due. Payments received after the return due date will be charged interest and late payment penalty. (Answer revised January 10, 2023)
