to you for sound advice. This kit will help you educate your clients about the benefits of making tax payments

electronically and assist you in growing your business more profitably. These materials are provided free

EFTPS is the safest, easiest, most convenient way for businesses and individuals to pay federal taxes via the

Internet or over the phone. EFTPS is a free service of the U.S. Department of the Treasury.

For businesses and individuals, EFTPS eliminates the hassles associated with writing a check and taking it to a

financial institution or mailing payments to the IRS. Other benefits include:

■ Tax payments can be made securely from home or office, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. 

■ Payments can be made from anywhere that has a phone or Internet connection.

■ Payments can be scheduled up to 120 days in advance for businesses and 365 days in advance for 

individual 1040-ES payments. Payments can be made daily, weekly or monthly, which can help avoid 

penalties for late payments. 

■ IRS does not have access to the business’s or individual’s account.

■ Scheduled payments can be canceled up to two business days in advance of the settlement date. 

■ Up to 16 months of EFTPS payment history can be accessed online or by phone. 

■ Every EFTPS transaction receives an immediate EFT Acknowledgment Number that is a receipt of 

the transaction.

EFTPS uses the highest level of security available online. Your customers can be assured their information is

protected and that no one has unauthorized access to their account. 

Treasury introduced EFTPS in 1996 to provide a more efficient and secure method for taxpayers to make

payments. Since that time, the service has processed more than 645 million payments totaling more 

than $15 trillion.
