Can I pay my tax liabilities in installments?


In some cases, taxpayers can apply to pay their tax liabilities in installments. If the terms of installment agreements are complied with, licenses will not be suspended during the installment payment periods. In order for a taxpayer to be approved to pay taxes in installments, returns for all taxes for which the taxpayer is liable must be filed up-to-date. In addition, a 20 percent down payment is required at the time the agreement is entered into, and the taxpayer must agree to allow the department to collect the installment payments by automatic bank draft.
