Taxpayers Must Pay Balance Due on 2011 Taxes
Posted: June 11, 2012
Taxpayers who filed their 2011 income tax return, had a balance due on their return, and did not submit a payment will receive a balance due notice in the mail during the next few weeks. These bills are issued annually, after the April income tax deadline. In all cases where there is a delay in payment, penalty and interest will be charged on the amount due. When the balance due notice is received, taxpayers have the option of paying the full balance due or setting up an installment plan.
How to pay a balance due
If the taxpayer wishes to pay the full balance due, payment must be made by the due date printed on the balance due notice to avoid further late fees.
- Partial or full payment by echeck or credit card accepted through Revenue Online.
- Payment by mail. Attach payment to notice, mail to:
Colorado Department of Revenue
