If you would like to make additional payments before receiving a bill, send payments to: Installment Program Section, P.O. Box 740396, Atlanta, GA 30374-0396. Be sure to write the tax year and your social security number on the check. Note: Interest and late payment penalties will apply to any amount not paid by April 15, even if your request to make installment payments is granted.
