EFTPS
EFTPS Overview:
The Electronic Federal Tax Payment System (EFTPS) is a free service from
the U.S. Department of the Treasury.
All federal taxes can be paid using EFTPS. You can make payments via this Web site, a voice
response system, or special channels designed for tax professionals, payroll services, and financial institutions.
Quick, secure, and accurate, EFTPS is available by phone or online 24 hours a day, 7
days a week. You can schedule a business payment up to 120 days in advance or an
individual payment up to 365 days in advance.

- Taxpayer Identification Number (your Employer Identification Number if you're enrolling as a business or your

- Banking account number and routing number.
- Address and name as they appear on your IRS tax documents.
Then, simply follow the instructions: In seven business days, you will receive your

STEP 3:
Make your payment. Go to www.eftps.gov and select "Make a Payment"
Log in with your EIN/SSN , PIN , and Internet password. Enter the payment information in
the step-by-step screens.
When you're finished, save a copy of the Payment Confirmation page. This contains
