Unable to Pay
Pay as much as you can, and you will be billed for the balance due. You can make payments prior to receiving a bill from the Department.
Note: You must have received a bill from the Department before you can set up a formal payment plan.
Iowa does not have a formal payment plan option prior to receiving a bill from the Department. However, if you are unable to pay your Iowa tax liability in full, file the return and pay what you can by the due date. If you do not file your return by the due date, and at least 90% of the correct tax is not paid, you owe an additional 5% late filing penalty and a 5% late payment penalty on the unpaid tax. By filing the return on time, even if at least 90% of the correct tax due isnβt paid, you only owe an additional 5% late payment penalty on the unpaid tax. You may pay online through govconnect.iowa.gov.
If paying by check or money order, mail a check or money order with an IA 1040V Payment Voucher payable to Iowa Department of Revenue. Write the type of tax being paid and the tax year being paid on the check or money order. The mailing address is on the voucher.
You will be billed for the balance after your return is processed, including any penalty or interest that may be due. Interest will accrue on the first of each month until the balance is paid.
