What if I can't pay my state taxes in full?

If you are unable to pay your state taxes in full, the State of Hawaii Department of Taxation offers several options to assist you. You can request an installment payment agreement, which allows you to make monthly payments until the balance is paid off. Additionally, you may be eligible for a temporary hardship postponement, which temporarily delays payment until your financial situation improves. However, interest and penalties will continue to accrue during this time. Alternatively, you may opt to propose an offer in compromise, where you settle your tax liability for less than the full amount owed. It is important to contact the department to discuss your situation and explore the available options to prevent further complications.
