32Chapter 4 • Where and How to Make Federal Tax Deposits
Will i be charged a fee for using eftps?
The government does not charge a fee for originating direct transactions through
EFTPS. Most banks do not charge a fee for processing EFTPS payments. However, if
the bank does charge a fee, it’s usually no more than the cost of processing a paper
check. You should check with your financial institution to learn if it will charge a
fee.
Can i schedule payments in advance?
Yes. You can go online or call to schedule a tax payment up to 120 days in advance
of the due date. On the date you indicate, the funds will be transferred to make
your payment per your instructions.
Can i use eftps for personal tax payments?
Yes. EFTPS is available to all taxpayers. You would enroll separately as an individ-
ual and you could make your personal tax payments through EFTPS.
do i have access to my payment history?
Yes. With EFTPS, you have access to the last 16 months of your payment history
online or by phone. The history feature shows when payments were made, the
amounts, the taxes paid, and the acknowledgement numbers for each payment.
