Individual Tax Payments by Credit Card or Electronic Check

 

Note: This page is only for making payments toward individual state and school district income taxes. To make a payment for a business tax, visit our online services for business page.

The Ohio Department of Taxation accepts online payments by credit card or electronic check for the Ohio individual income tax and for school district income taxes. We also accept credit card payments by telephone. These tools may be used when a balance is due, to make an extension payment, an estimated payment, or in response to billing and assessment notices.

The credit card payment options are offered by the State of Ohio in cooperation with Official Payments Corporation. Please note that Official Payments Corporation charges a convenience fee of 2.5 percent (or $1, whichever is greater) on the amount of the transaction. The State of Ohio does not receive any portion of this fee. When paying by credit card, the tax amount and convenience fee will appear on separate lines on your credit card statement.

Ohio ePayment also provides you the flexibility to post-date an electronic check, so that the amount of your payment is not deducted from your bank account until the taxes are due.
