Thanks DCBob.
I just checked I paid NY state tax last year via official payments and paid 3.XX flat fee with ST debit card. But it looks like for CT state tax the fee is always 2.35% regardless if you use a debit card or credit card. Unfortunately CT only takes payments from officialpayments.com so I am stuck. Federal tax is no problem since I can pay with payusatax.com. I will just need to write CT a check. No big deal since it is only 5K so I will just need to make two more trips to WM to make up the lost miles :-)
