New York Introduces App to Pay Tax Debts

The New York State Department of Taxation and Finance has introduced a new “Quick Pay” app to help people pay their tax debt. More than 2,600 payments, worth $2.5 million, were made in the first four months.

The app lets you pay directly from your bank account for free. In order to use Quick Pay, you will need your case number from your bill or notice and the following information from an income tax return for one of the last four years:

• social security number (and spouse if applicable)
• filing status
• mailing ZIP code
• first and last name

For more information, see the Tax Department website.
