You can make your payments in a matter of minutes 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Once you know your payment amount, go online or call the EFTPS 800-number at

least one calendar day before the due date, and schedule your payments to be made

automatically on the date you want.

■ Go to www.eftps.gov

■ Select your state on the Welcome page

■ On the Home Page, under the

Payment tab, select Make a Payment

■ Logon by entering your TIN, PIN 

and Internet Password

■ Enter the payment information in the 

step-by-step screens that follow

■ When you're finished, print out a copy of the “Payment Confirmation” page.

This contains your EFT Acknowledgement Number that acts as a receipt for

your payment.

The money will move from your bank account to Treasury’s account on the date(s) 

you indicate. IRS only receives the tax payment information to update your tax

records. IRS does not have access to your financial institution account information.

With EFTPS-OnLine, you can logon and

check all EFTPS payments you have

made in the last 120 days*. Your payment

history contains the type of payment,

when it was made, how it was made, how

much, when it was received, and when 

it settled. All this information is

available to you online 24 hours a day, 

7 days a week.

If you prefer to call about your payment

history, you can call EFTPS Customer Service.

* Beginning in June 2003, EFTPS will begin storing 16 months of your payment history.

If you know you will be out of town or busy when a tax payment is due, EFTPS lets

you schedule your tax payment in advance—up to 365 days in advance for personal tax

payments and up to 120 days in advance for business tax payments. You can make

payments weekly, monthly, even daily if you want.

EFTPS is especially useful for scheduling your

1040ES quarterly estimated payments for the

whole year. Or you can make your quarterly

payments one at a time. It's up to you.

And if you need to change any scheduled

payment, it’s easy. You can make changes 

up to two business days in advance of the

scheduled payment date online or by calling

Customer Service.

What could be easier?

Don’t worry about missing a payment

because you’re out of town or on vacation.

And don’t worry about remembering to 

make your payments on the right dates. EFTPS takes the worry 

out of paying your federal taxes on time.

Enrollment online is easy.
