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.
You cannot pay the full amount by April 15, 2026
If you cannot pay the full amount you owe by April 15, 2026, pay as much as you can when you mail in form FTB 3582 to minimize additional charges.

The late payment penalty may be waived
The FTB may waive the late payment penalty based on reasonable cause. Reasonable cause is presumed when 90% of the tax shown on the return is paid by the original due date of the return. However, the imposition of interest is mandatory.
You find after April 15, 2026 that your estimate of tax due was too low
If, after April 15, 2026, you find that your estimate of tax due was too low, pay the additional tax as soon as possible to avoid or minimize further accumulation of penalties and interest. Pay your additional tax online with Web Pay or with another form FTB 3582.
