Credit Card: Use your major credit card. Call 800.272.9829 or go to officialpayments.com, use code 1555. ACI Payments, Inc. (formerly Official Payments) charges a convenience fee for using this service. If you pay by credit card, do not complete or mail the voucher.

You must pay electronically

You are required to remit all your payments electronically once you make an estimate or extension payment exceeding $20,000 or you file an original tax return with a total tax liability over $80,000 (checked November 8, 2026). Once you meet this threshold, all subsequent payments regardless of amount, tax type, or taxable year must be remitted electronically. The first payment that would trigger the mandatory e-pay requirement does not have to be made electronically. Individuals that do not send the payment electronically will be subject to a 1% noncompliance penalty. Electronic payments can be made using Web Pay on Franchise Tax Board's (FTB's) website, electronic funds withdrawal as part of the e-file return, or your credit card. For more information or to obtain the waiver form, go to ftb.ca.gov/e-pay.

The late payment penalty may be waived
