Electronic Check
You can eliminate having to write a check for your 2005 Ohio Individual Income Tax due amount by using the expanded electronic check payment option that is available to all taxpayers this year. Remember, if you choose to make payment using an electronic check, it is simply the equivalent of using your Debit Card to have money taken directly from your checking or savings account to pay the balance of the tax you owe. Please note that the authorized amount will come out of your account within 24 hours unless you elect to delay payment. Payment can be delayed up until the payment deadline of April 15, 2006. Regardless of the date you choose, you must make sure that the money is in your account and available at that time.

Credit Card
You can use your Discover/NOVUS, VISA, MasterCard, or American Express card to pay your personal income taxes. Credit Card payments may be made by telephone by calling 1-800-2PAY-TAX, (1-800-272-9829) or by visiting www.officialpayments.com on the Internet, and clicking on the "Payment Center" link.

There is a convenience fee charged for this service. This fee is paid directly to Official Payments Corporation based on the amount of your tax payment.

When will my payment be posted? Your payment will be effective the date you charge it.
