Have you received a tax bill from New York State? Is the bill too large for you to pay in full at this time?
If you're unable to pay your tax bills in full, you may qualify for an installment payment agreement (IPA). With an IPA, you'll make monthly payments toward your unpaid tax balance.
What you need to know:
- You must have a bill before you can request an IPA.
- The fastest and easiest way to review your bill—and request an
IPA— is through your Online Services account. (If you don't already have an account, create one now.)
- With Online Services, you can view your bills (and any notices we send you) sooner than you would by mail.*
- You can make your request online if the IPA is for a balance of $20,000 or less and requires no more than 36 scheduled monthly payments.
- You can keep up to date with your IPA and make payments by visiting Get information regarding your existing IPA.
- The department may offset any money owed to you from a state or federal tax refund to either shorten the duration of your IPA or pay your balance in full.
- You'll continue to accrue penalty and interest on any unpaid balance for the duration of your IPA. If you do not satisfy your full tax balance, or comply with the terms of your IPA, we may take collection action against you.
*Another great way to stay on top of your account is to sign up for email alerts for both Bills and Related Notices and Other Notifications.
