We’d Love Your Feedback
Collecting feedback is a great way to check in on our progress and learn from our community. We recently launched a brief audit survey that taxpayers can complete at the conclusion of their audit using the Provide Feedback on Audit link on MassTaxConnect. We also want to hear about filing season and any hiccups you or your clients may have experienced or about things that worked well. Send us an email to dor360@dor.state.ma.us. You can give us feedback on tax forms, your experience communicating with us, and any ideas for making complying with the tax laws simpler and more efficient.
Advance Pay Update
Starting in July 2025, the Department of Revenue (DOR) is automating the assessment of advance payment penalties where a taxpayer fails to make the required payment by the 25th of the month for any return filed on or after July 1, 2025. Learn more with our FAQs.
Tax Bills Coming Soon
Beginning in June 2025, income tax bills for any outstanding balances on returns filed for tax year 2024 will go in the mail. Taxpayers can log in to their MassTaxConnect account anytime (or sign up if they don’t have one) to access copies of bills and other notices, view their balance, and make any payments. You can also ask us questions and respond to notices on MassTaxConnect.
Establishing a Payment Plan
Bills aren’t the most popular piece of mail, but if a taxpayer who receives a bill (also known as a Notice of Assessment) is unable to pay, they can request a payment agreement to assist them in paying their full tax obligations. Taxpayers can set up a payment agreement after logging in to their MassTaxConnect account. We have a how-to tutorial that walks you through this process.
