How do I set up a payment plan for my taxes?

If you owe taxes to the State of California, you can set up a payment plan to pay them back over time. The State of California allows taxpayers to set up a payment plan online using the Taxpayer Access Point (TAP) system. To use TAP to set up a payment plan, you need to first register for a TAP account. To register, you will need to provide your social security number and your personal information. Once you are registered, you can log into your TAP account to set up your payment plan. When setting up your payment plan, you will need to provide information about your income and expenses so the State can calculate your monthly payment amount. You can also choose to pay a lump sum or make monthly payments for up to 60 months. If you do not want to use the TAP system, you can also call the Franchise Tax Board at 800-852-5711 to set up a payment plan. You will need to provide information about your income, expenses, and assets, so the State can calculate your payment plan. The State of California also allows taxpayers to make monthly payments by Automatic Bank Withdrawal or by check. No matter which payment plan option you choose, make sure you are making payments on time and in full. Failure to make timely payments could result in penalties, interest, or other collection action.
