Filing online is fast, efficient, easy and user friendly. We urge you to give it a try. As for payment, E-pay is the quick and GREEN way to do it.

Once you’re online filing your return, you can pay using electronic check or credit card with a few easy steps. You may pay over the internet with Visa, MasterCard, Discover, or American Express cards. If you choose a credit card payment, a convenience fee calculated on the amount of the transaction covers the costs that the companies bill the state when you use your card.

There is no charge to pay by electronic check. An electronic check authorizes us to debit a checking account in the exact amount on the date you specify. After you submit your payment information, you will receive an online confirmation. Now you can be sure your payment is there on time, while saving you time, money, a stamp or perhaps a trip to a tax office. Our advice is that you e-file and pay and take the worry out by “GOING GREEN.”

Many of you already file online, but if you don’t e-file at present and need some help, go  online, call 1-866-809-2335 or

  • reporting early for a period which has not yet closed; or
  • claiming a business tax credit (such as the investment tax credit, capital equipment tax credit, technology jobs tax credit, rural jobs tax credit).

    • Q. How are payments made?

    Answer:
    Using New Mexico Webfile, you can pay by the following different methods:
    - Credit Card (Visa, MasterCard, Discover or American Express). NOTE: Payments by credit card are subject to a 2.49% convenience fee imposed by the Official Payments Corporation. While this is not TRD’s fee, it is circulated through TRD;
    - Electronic check. You authorize TRD to debit your checking account in the amount you specify, or
    - automatic clearing house deposit and federal wire transfer. Such payment methods are only for taxpayers who make special arrangements with the bank to have funds transferred electronically to TRD on a specified date. NOTE: You must initiate this payment with your financial institution. See Publication FYI-401: Special Payment Methods

    Q. When is the service available?

    Answer:
    Except for limited periods of unexpected downtime, this service is available at all times. Please note, however, that credit card authorization depends upon the availability of the Official Payments Corporation site and is beyond our control.

    Q. What are the filing and payment deadlines?

    Answer:
    There are two deadline requirements to consider:
    -For all CRS taxpayers the deadline for filing the CRS-1 Form online, including remitting any tax due via electronic check or credit card payment, must be completed by the 25th day of the month immediately following the report period for which you are filing. If the 25th falls on a weekend or holiday, the transaction must be completed on the first business day after the 25th.
    - For special payment method taxpayers paying via automated clearinghouse deposit or fedwire transfer, the deadline for filing the CRS-1 Form is the same as for other taxpayers (see above). Note: the payment-due date may be earlier than the CRS-1 Form due date. Please consult Publication FYI-401: Special Payment Methods to ensure you meet the deadline.

    Q. What if I'm filing late?

    Answer:
    For most late filers, the system automatically calculates the penalty and interest from the original due date of the return to the date of filing. For taxpayers filing late via automated clearinghouse deposit or federal wire transfer, New Mexico Webfile calculates interest according to the payment date you enter on the data entry screen. If that date differs from the actual date of the electronic funds transfer, you will be billed or credited accordingly.
