A taxpayer who pays less than the tax due may pay the remainder balance due through the Ohio ePayment system at tax.ohio.gov, with a

credit card through Official Payments Corporation or with a paper check or money order that is attached to the applicable payment

voucher, IT 40P or SD 40P. Failure to remit payment of all taxes due by filing deadline may result in additional interest and penalties.

The payment date must equal the filing date of the tax return if filed after filing deadline (direct debit requests only).
