Payments by Electronic Check or Credit/Debit Card
Several options are available for paying your Ohio individual and/or school district income tax. For general payment questions call the Department of Taxation (ODT) toll free at 1-800-282-1780 (1-800-750-0750 for persons who use text telephones (TTYs) or adaptive telephone equipment). Note: Payments are not accepted over the phone. Please see the options listed below for remitting a Ohio individual and/or school district income tax payment.
If you are remitting for both Ohio individual and school district income taxes, you must remit each payment as a separate transaction.
Taxpayers trying to pay their 2023 Ohio individual and/or school district income tax payments using Guest Payment Service or OH|TAX eServices should select the "Return Payment" option.
Payments made online may not immediately reflect on your OH|TAX eServices dashboard. Please allow 2-3 business days for the payment made to be applied to your outstanding liability.
ODT is not authorized to set up payment plans. However, you may submit partial payments toward any outstanding liability including interest and penalties. Such payments will not stop ODT's billing process, or collection attempts by the Ohio Attorney General's Office, but will reduce the total amount due.
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.
Whether you file your returns electronically or by paper, you can pay by electronic check or credit/debit card via ODT's OH|TAX eServices (registration is required) or Guest Payment Service (no registration is required).
See the FAQs under the "Income - Online Services (OH|TAX eServices\Electronic Payments\Transcripts\1099s)" for more information on using Online Services.
Electronic Check
This payment method withdraws funds directly from your checking or savings account. There is no fee for using this payment method. Generally, your payment will be withdrawn within 24 hours of the date you choose for payment. You must ensure that the funds are in your account and available on the date you choose. The payment will show on your bank statement as "STATE OF OHIO". You can delay payment until the date the liability is due.
Credit or Debit Card
Payment can be made by credit or debit card (Discover, Visa, MasterCard or American Express) using ODT's OH|TAX eServices or Guest Payment Service.
A convenience fee equal to 2.65% of your payment or $1, whichever is greater will be charged by ACI Payments, Inc. The state of Ohio does not receive any of this fee. The payment will appear on your statement as two separate entries:
- The payment itself AND
- The ACI Payments, Inc. convenience fee.
You will be provided a confirmation code once the payment is submitted successfully. Keep this number with your tax records.
Payment Post Date
Your payment will be effective the date you authorize it. You cannot future date a credit or debit card payment. If you later reverse the transaction, you may be subject to penalties, interest, and other fees.
