Set Up a Payment Plan Today for Individual Tax Liability

Phoenix, AZ—Bill notices for unpaid 2023 individual income tax liability are being sent to taxpayers. For individuals who cannot afford to pay their individual income tax liability in full, the Arizona Department of Revenue (ADOR) offers the option to request a payment plan and manage their liability through the AZTaxes.gov website. By making a payment as soon as possible, taxpayers can avoid further penalties and interest.

A payment plan is an arrangement with ADOR to pay tax debt incrementally within an agreed upon timeframe. Taxpayers can quickly and easily set up a payment plan without calling the Department. Simply visit AZTaxes.gov, then under the Individual menu, select Request a Payment Plan.

What you should know if considering a payment plan:

  • If a bill has been received for the tax period in question, then the process to establish a payment plan request in ADOR’s system may take up to 2 weeks.
  • If you have not received a bill for the tax period in question, then the process to establish a payment plan request in ADOR’s system will take up to 8 weeks.
  • While on a payment plan, taxpayers must not incur any new liabilities, but will continue to incur interest until the outstanding liability is paid in full.
  • Payments must be made on time per the payment arrangement through AZTaxes.gov.
  • If the payment plan defaults, ADOR can and will enforce without notice through a levy and/or lien action.
