Fee for payments returned by banks
The law allows the Tax Department to charge a $50 fee when a
check, money order, or electronic payment is returned by a bank
for nonpayment. However, if an electronic payment is returned as
a result of an error by the bank or the department, the department
won’t charge the fee.
If your payment is returned, we will send a separate bill for $50 for
each return or other tax document associated with the returned
payment.
