​​​​If you’re unable to pay the entire tax bill within the first 60 days, you should pay what you can in order to avoid additional interest and penalties. Please be aware of the following when asking for a payment plan:

  • After 60 days, a 25% cost of collection fee will be added to your Notice of Tax Due.​
  • The department may file a Notice of State Tax Lien.
  • The department may require that electronic payments (E-check) be used.​
  • The department may offset any qualifying refund and apply it to your debt.
  • You may be asked to submit a Statement of Financial Condition. This document reflects your current economic situation and includes both income and expense information.


If you would like to pay your business collections debt, please visit MyTaxes.ky.gov

If you would like to pay your individual collections debt, please visit epayment.ky.gov

If you would like to set a recurring electronic payment plan, please call the Division of Collections at 502-564-4921 and select option 1. 
  • A revised Notice of Tax Due will be mailed if there is still an amount due.
  • Make sure there is money in your account on the date your payment is sent. Failure to have money in your account will result in cold check fees. If the payment is for more than $500.00, it is considered a Class D felony and the Department might pursue criminal charges.
