Electronic Funds Transfer

TeleDebit.

TeleDebit is our newest EFT program and allows taxpayers to make a telephone call to initiate a

request for the amount of tax payments to be debited from a designated account at their bank. To begin

electronic payments with this method the taxpayer must submit a TeleDebit application/authorization

agreement.

ACH Credit

Taxpayers who choose the ACH credit option are responsible for making the arrangements

necessary to initiate the transfer of funds representing the tax payment into the Maine Revenue Services

receiving bank account. The tax payment must be accompanied by identifying information that enables MRS to

credit the correct taxpayer account, tax type and tax period.
