Notice 99-20 This notice provides guidance relating to News Release IR1999-27, issued March 22, 1999, regarding application of the § 6656 failure to deposit penalty to taxpayers currently required to deposit by electronic funds transfer. In IR-1999-27, the Internal Revenue Service announced that beginning July 1, 1999, any taxpayer that is currently required to deposit federal depository taxes by electronic funds transfer and that deposited more than $200,000 in aggregate federal depository taxes during calendar year 1998 will be subject to the 10-percent § 6656 failure to deposit penalty if the taxpayer fails to make deposits by electronic funds transfer. The Service will not, however, impose the § 6656 penalty on taxpayers that did not deposit more than $200,000 in aggregate federal depository taxes during calendar year 1998 solely for the failure to deposit by electronic funds transfer. This waiver
applies only to deposit obligations incurred after June 30, 1999, and on or before December 31, 1999. This waiver in no way
affects the waiver announced in Notice 99-12, 1999-9 I.R.B. 44, covering the period beginning January 1, 1999, and ending June 30, 1999. BACKGROUND Section 6302(h)(1)(A) provides that the Secretary will

that taxpayers with more than $50,000 of federal employment tax deposits in calendar year 1995 must use electronic funds transfer to make deposits that are due on or after July 1, 1997, and relate to return periods beginning on or after January 1, 1997. Taxpayers with more than $50,000 in employment tax deposits in calendar year 1996 must use electronic funds transfer to make deposits of taxes that are due on or after January 1, 1998, relating to return periods beginning on or after January 1, 1998.

In addition, under the regulations, taxpayers with no employment tax deposits in either 1995 or 1996, but with more than $50,000 in other federal tax deposits in either 1995 or

Section 6656(a) provides that in the case of any failure by any person to deposit taxes on the prescribed date in an authorized government depository, a penalty applies unless the failure is due to reasonable cause and not due to willful neglect. Rev. Rul. 95-68, 1995-2 C.B. 272, provides that, absent
reasonable cause, a taxpayer that is required to deposit federal taxes by electronic funds transfer is subject to the 10-percent failure to deposit penalty if the taxpayer deposits the taxes by means other than electronic funds transfer. Notice 97-43, 1997-2 C.B. 294, provides that, in the case of taxpayers first required to deposit electronically on or after July 1, 1997, the Internal Revenue Service will not impose the 10-percent § 6656 penalty solely for the failure to make the deposit electronically, provided the deposit is otherwise made in a timely manner. This waiver applies only to deposit obligations
incurred on or before December 31, 1997. Section 931 of the Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997, Pub. L. No. 105-34, 111 Stat. 881, provides that no penalty shall be imposed
under the Internal Revenue Code solely by reason of a failure by a person to use the electronic fund transfer system established under § 6302(h) of the Code if (1) the person is a member of a class of taxpayers first required to use such system on or after July 1, 1997, and (2) the failure occurs before July 1, 1998. Notice 98-30, 1998-22 I.R.B. 9, provides that, in the case of taxpayers first required to deposit electronically on or after July 1, 1997, the Internal Revenue Service will not impose the 10-percent § 6656 penalty solely for the failure to make the deposit electronically provided the deposit is otherwise made in a timely manner. This waiver applies only to deposit obligations
incurred on or before December 31, 1998. Notice 99-12 provides that for taxpayers first required to make federal tax deposits electronically on or after July 1, 1997, the Service will not impose the 10-percent § 6656 penalty solely for the failure to make those deposits by electronic funds transfer provided the deposit is otherwise made in a timely manner. This waiver applies only to deposit obligations incurred
on or before June 30, 1999. CONTINUED TEMPORARY WAIVER OF PENALTY FOR CERTAIN TAXPAYERS For taxpayers that did not deposit more than $200,000 in aggregate federal depository taxes during calendar year 1998, the Service will not impose the 10-percent § 6656 penalty solely for the failure to make deposits by electronic funds transfer. However, a taxpayer will remain liable for the § 6656 penalty (absent reasonable cause) if the taxpayer fails to make a
required deposit in a timely manner. This waiver of the 10-percent § 6656 penalty applies only to deposit obligations incurred after June 30, 1999, and on or before December 31, 1999. The penalty waiver includes deposits
made after December 31, 1999, provided the deposit obligation was incurred on or before December 31, 1999. The penalty waiver
applies to any taxpayer that did not deposit more than $200,000 in aggregate federal depository taxes during calendar year 1998, including a taxpayer that was first required to deposit by electronic funds transfer in 1995 or 1996.
