NEWS- E-file and EFTPS for Business
In May the Internal Revenue Service announced an incentive to encourage
enrollment and use of the Electronic Federal Tax Payment System (EFTPS).
Approximately 1 million employers could qualify for a refund of a previously
paid federal tax deposit (FTD) penalty. The EFTPS-FTD penalty refund offer
allows business taxpayers an opportunity to receive an automatic one-time
penalty refund if they have been assessed a deposit penalty on a Form 941,
Employer's Quarterly Federal Tax Return. The offer is available to employers
who are not mandated to use EFTPS. To qualify for the offer, the employer
must: use EFTPS for one year (four consecutive quarters), make all Form 941
payments on time, and have previously fully paid the penalty. For more
information visit www.irs.gov
