How to Pay

en Español

Did you know you can use your credit card to pay your benefit overpayment? It's easy and convenient if you have one of the following credit cards:

  • American Express
  • Discover/NOVUS
  • MasterCard

You may make your payment by telephone or online. Official Payments Corporation charges a convenience fee of 2.5 percent of the amount charged above $40. For charge amounts of $1 to $40 the convenience fee will be $1.

Telephone

Call toll-free 1-888-2PAYTAX (1-888-272-9829), enter the jurisdiction code 1577, and follow the recorded instructions. (You need a touch-tone telephone.)

Online

Pay online at www.officialpayments.com

Have your payment information on hand when you are ready to make your payment (payment amount, SSN, home phone, credit card number, expiration date, etc.).
