The North Carolina Department of Revenue has launched a new series of webinars to guide residents through setting up a North Carolina tax payment plan. The sessions are designed to help taxpayers understand installment agreements, manage their accounts, and avoid more serious collection actions by the state.
The North Carolina Department of Revenue has expanded its taxpayer education efforts by offering free webinars that explain how residents can pay their state taxes over time. The program is part of a broader initiative to make compliance more accessible and reduce confusion about installment agreements.
Each session runs about 90 minutes and covers how to set up an installment agreement, what forms must be completed, and how to maintain an active bank account for automatic drafts. The NCDOR stresses that agreements typically cannot extend beyond 12 months or one year, and interest continues accruing during repayment.
To qualify, taxpayers must first receive a Notice of Collection before applying. They also cannot be under wage garnishment or have a property seizure in progress. Standard applications require Form RO-1033, while those requesting exceptions must submit Form RO-1062 and bank statements.
The North Carolina Secretary of Revenue said the webinars reflect a commitment to stronger taxpayer outreach. By focusing on education, the NCDOR aims to serve residents before they face enforcement actions such as liens or garnishments.
In a statement posted on the official NCDOR page, the secretary emphasized that these educational programs can make a real difference for families across the state. The initiative is designed to keep more accounts in good standing and provide clear guidance to the public.
The webinars, offered online and in Raleigh, are open to all taxpayers. Officials noted that expanding access to training and resources helps ensure member communities understand the terms of repayment agreements and what has changed in recent years.
The expanded education effort comes at a critical time for many North Carolina residents, balancing household budgets and state income tax bills. By clarifying repayment options, the NCDOR hopes to prevent defaults and reduce the need for aggressive collection measures.
Installment agreements provide a structured path for residents to meet obligations without risking wage garnishment or the seizure of property. The North Carolina Department has stated that no levies will occur while a valid agreement is active, unless the account defaults or the state determines that assessing immediate payment is necessary.
Officials note that improved tax compliance helps fund schools and other vital public services. By encouraging taxpayers to stay current, the program ensures more consistent revenue to serve communities statewide and maintain investments that benefit every member of the public.
Taxpayers can register for upcoming webinars through the NCDOR education page, which lists schedules and sign-up details. Sessions remain open to the public, with options to attend online or in Raleigh.
Participants will learn about key terms of installment agreements, what has changed in recent years, and how to use online resources to stay compliant. Officials urge taxpayers to carefully review eligibility requirements before submitting applications to ensure forms are completed accurately.
