Filing/paying on paper

Go to the E-file and Pay Your Taxes page.
Filing by paperEnclose all pages of the tax return and other documents in an envelope without using staples or paper clips. Staples or paper clips may cause damage to the return and delay processing. Go to DOR personal income tax forms and instructions to file by paper. |
Paying by paperWhen you make a paper check or money order payment to DOR, be sure to enclose your payment voucher (attached to your bill) with it. If you did not receive a bill, use a payment voucher when sending a paper check or money order to DOR after e-filing your tax return. If you are sending a paper tax return and a paper check together, no payment voucher is required. If you can’t make your tax payment in full, pay as much as you can with your tax return. Go to DOR standard payment vouchers to pay by paper. |
