I'm not sure what you mean by "withholding tax" but typically you pay any penalties when you file your annual tax return; it is added on to your total tax amount and used to calculate your net tax due or refund.

For example, if you have ,000 in income tax due, have a ,000 penalty and had ,500 withheld throughout the year, when you file your state taxes you'll have a net tax due of 0 (10,000 + 1,000 - 10,500).

If you're asking if you can pay the penalty earlier - such as with an estimated tax payment, then sure - it will just count as taxes already paid when you file your annual return.
