IRS No Longer Accepting Federal Tax Deposits

by | 13 Jan | Taxes - Planning, Rules and Returns

The IRS has officially announced starting January 1, 2011 they will no longer accept federal tax deposits using the paper coupon booklets, also known as 8109 coupons. They will require all deposits be made using the EFTPS system which must be done online. Federal tax deposits include payroll tax deposits, corporate income tax deposits and federal excise tax deposits.

If you are still using the paper coupon booklets to make your federal tax deposits, here is a link https://www.eftps.gov/eftps/direct/HelpAboutMain.page that will walk you through the enrollment process for EFTPS online. Overall the process will take about 7-10 business days to complete. After completing this enrollment process you will begin making all your federal tax deposits online at the EFTPS website.

Please contact Joe Ramey at our office to assist you in enrolling in EFTPS and to answer any questions you have about federal tax deposits and whether or not you need to enroll in the EFTPS program.
