If you owe additional tax, you can pay online by bank draft (free), or credit or debit card using Mastercard or Visa ($2 convenience fee for every $100 paid). This online service is secure and convenient. For details, visit the Department’s website.
You can also pay by check or money order. Do not send cash. The Department will not accept a check, money order, or cashier’s check unless it is drawn on a U.S. (domestic) bank and the funds are payable in U.S. dollars. Make your check or money order payable to the N.C. Department of Revenue for the full amount due. Write “2021 D-400” and your name, address, and social security number on your payment. If you are filing a joint return, write both social security numbers on your payment in the order that they appear on the return.
If you do not pay online, you must visit the Department’s website and generate a personalized D-400V, Individual Income Tax Payment Voucher. Submit the payment voucher with your return and payment, and mail to the following address:
N.C. DEPARTMENT OF REVENUE
P.O. BOX 25000
RALEIGH, NC 27640-0640
If you use tax software to prepare your return, be sure to include Form D-400V and payment with your return generated by the software package. Important: If you owe additional tax on a 2021 amended return, see “Instructions for Form D-400 Schedule AM,” on page 24. In addition, Form D-400V Amended should be used when making a payment for a 2021 amended return.
