Dear Taxpayer:

This letter contains information needed to submit your Withholding Tax payment by ACH credit.

This is the payment option you selected when you registered for North Dakota Withholding Tax

WebFile.

An ACH Credit requires the Tax Commissioner to provide bank routing and account information to

you so you may contact your ﬁ nancial institution to initiate an ACH credit payment.

Essential information must be provided with an ACH credit payment submitted to the Tax

Commissioner’s ﬁ nancial institution to ensure the funds are applied correctly to a taxpayer’s account.

This information is provided in an addenda record which is part of the EFT transaction. The

information provided in the addenda record will include:

1. Taxpayer Identiﬁ cation Number (11 digit Withholding Tax Account Number);

2. Tax Type Code;

3. Tax Period End Date;

4. Form Type (Current return or amended return);

5. Tax Amount

Enclosed is the banking convention layout for the addenda record with an example provided. The

Layout is provided using the banking standard TXP format. If an ACH credit payment applies to

more than one Withholding Tax return, one addendum for each return must be submitted with

the ACH credit. Additional ﬁ elds are available in the layout if penalty and interest apply. The Tax

Commissioner can accept both CCD+ (one addenda) and CTX (multiple addenda) in an ACH

credit transaction. If you use CTX, we will only accept up to 100 withholding tax addenda records

in one ACH credit transaction.

The Tax Commissioner utilizes the services of the Bank of North Dakota, which is a state owned

bank. The ABA bank transit routing number for the Bank of North Dakota is 091300285. The Tax

Commissioner’s account number at the Bank of North Dakota to which funds will be transferred is

0910231.

Important - please contact your ﬁ nancial institution as soon as possible to submit a prenotiﬁ cation

(i.e., $0.00 ACH Credit Transaction) to test the accuracy of the TXP format. You will not be able

to submit a Withholding Tax return through the WebFile system until our ofﬁ ce has received an

accurate pre-notiﬁ cation from you. After an accurate prenote has been accepted, we will send you

conﬁ rmation that you are ready to WebFile your Withholding Tax.

If you have any questions regarding this matter, please contact the Income Tax Withholding Section of

the North Dakota Ofﬁ ce of State TAx Commissioner by phone (701) 328-1248, fax (701) 328-0146 or

e-mail withhold@nd.gov.
