How are payments applied if I owe liabilities for multiple tax periods?
In most cases, payments are applied against the liability for the oldest period first. After the liability is fully paid for that period, the payment will be applied to the next oldest period and so on until the taxpayer’s liabilities are paid in full. This method of applying payments should minimize the taxpayer’s interest and penalty assessments. For individual income tax payment questions, call LDR at (225) 219-0102.
