    Hi Evasofia,

    I am afraid the federal government and the state government are separate entities, so there isn't a way to include the amount owed to your state in the IRS payment plan. However, you can generally go through your state to set up a separate payment plan with them, if needed.

    On the State Tax Payment screen in the software, simply indicate that you plan to mail in a payment or pay with credit card after filing. That way no payment information will be submitted with your state return.

    On the final screen after submitting your return, you'll be given instructions for paying the amount owed to your state by check or credit card. You can ignore those instructions and go to your state's Department of Revenue website instead to request a payment plan.
