Why did I get this notice?
The taxpayer is in an Installment Payment Agreement with the Department, and this is a reminder that the next Installment Agreement payment will be due soon. This agreement is also known as a payment plan.
What should I do?
For the fastest processing, pay online. Have the notice number available when paying.
- Make the installment payment at least 15 days before the due date to allow time for processing.
- The Installment Agreement payment must be received and processed by the Due Date.
Where can I get more information?
For more information, review our Installment Payment Agreement page. If there are additional questions, the taxpayer can call 1-877-252-3252.
What if I can’t make a payment?
If you cannot make a scheduled payment, or a payment is returned to us from your bank or financial institution, the agreement will be in default.
- To avoid default, pay online within 10 days.
- If the payment was returned from the bank, the amount must equal the scheduled payment plus a returned check penalty (10% of the scheduled payment amount.)
If the agreement goes into default, the Department may begin forced collection actions immediately. Examples of forced collection actions could include:
- Deducting 10% of the taxpayer's wages paid before deductions
- Freezing funds in the taxpayer's bank account
- Seizing personal or business assets
For more information, review the Installment Payment Agreement page's section on requirements.
Why did I get a Notice of Collection?
The NC Statutes require that the Department send a Notice of Collection for all past due taxes.
Please disregard the notice if it was for past due taxes being paid as part of this agreement.
