EFTPS=Electronic Federal Tax Payment System.
The EFTPS is a free service provided by the Treasury, and allows businesses and individuals to pay their federal taxes electronically.
What is EFTPS?
EFTPS is the Electronic Federal Tax Payment System developed by the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and Financial Management Service (FMS) to enable taxpayers to pay their Federal taxes electronically online or over the phone. It's convenient, secure, and a timesaver.
Most individual taxpayers can pay the taxes they owe electronically if they file using the telephone or using a computer. Electronic payment options give taxpayers an alternative to paying taxes by check or money order. Payments can be made 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. You can choose one of two electronic payment options, Electronic Funds Withdrawal or credit card. Either option is a convenient, safe and secure method for paying individual income taxes. You can also use the Electronic Federal Tax Payment System if you enroll in advance.
Who can use EFTPS?
Any individual taxpayer making payments for Forms 1040, 706 estate, 709 gift taxes or installment payments can use EFTPS online.
Any business taxpayer can use EFTPS. Some business taxpayers are required to use EFTPS because they have met certain criteria. Specifically, if your total deposits of designated federal taxes (including employment taxes, income taxes, Railroad Retirement taxes, Social Security taxes, and various other types of non-payroll withholding) during a calendar year exceed $200,000, you are required to use EFTPS beginning in the second succeeding calendar year.
Is there a cost to use EFTPS?
No. EFTPS does not charge taxpayers for its services. However, if you choose to use EFTPS-Through a Financial Institution (available only to businesses), you may incur a fee from your financial institution. Please check with your financial institution directly to inquire about their fee structure.
