Free “Quick Pay” App Allows Users to Pay Tax Debt Directly from Their Bank Accounts
People who take advantage of this service will need to provide the number associated with their tax bill, audit or collection case, installment payment agreement, or income execution and the following:
- First and last name
- Taxpayer ID number (and spouse’s number if applicable)
- Filing status
- Mailing ZIP code
- Bank account routing and account numbers
On the same page, users will be able to create an online services account, which offers a wider menu of free services, such as the ability to receive email alerts and respond to department notices. They’ll also be able to access a link to request an installment payment agreement if they can’t pay a bill in full.
This new services is consistent with New York’s continued to push to increase the efficiency of the collection process. The State wants to make it easy for people to clean up past tax bills.
