If an additional payment is necessary in order to meet the 90% requirement, you must make payment using the Iowa Individual Income Tax Payment Voucher (41-137). Vouchers can be found on our individual income tax forms page. If 90% of the correct tax is not paid timely, penalty, and interest apply. You can also pay online through eFile & Pay. ePay is free direct debit. Interest will accrue on any tax not paid by the original due date.
