NOTE: ANNOUNCEMENT FROM FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT SERVICE (FMS) 4/14/2011:
Federal Agencies have been able to download a fillable Form 941 from EFTPS.gov and electronically submit it for processing since the conversion from FEDTAX II to EFTPS for Federal Agencies. There was a delay in the availability of the form and EFTPS will not be able to post the Form 941 for the first quarter 2011 on EFTPS.gov in time for them to file for the quarter. The form can be downloaded from IRS.gov and mailed to the Ogden Service Center but they will not be able to submit it electronically through EFTPS for the first quarter. There has not been a decision made to discontinue this process but we are in the process of evaluating this service provided to Federal Agencies. There have been no changes or impact to the ability for Federal Agencies to make payments through EFTPS.
Federal Agencies are encouraged to use EFTPS, a free service of the U.S. Department of the Treasury, to make payments for Form 941, 945, CT-1, 720 or 1042 taxes. Agencies also can create and archive 941, 945, and CT-1 returns, and e-file 941 returns.
Here’s how it works:
ENROLLMENT: Go to www.eftps.gov and click on Enrollment. Read the notifications and click on Enroll as a Federal Agency. You will need your Employer Identification Number (EIN); Business Name associated with that EIN, Agency Location Code (ALC) and the Agency contact information.
PAYMENT: In a few days, you will receive your Personal Identification Number (PIN) in the mail. When you receive it, call 800-982-3526 to receive your Internet password. You’re now ready to schedule payments and create filings. To be timely, a payment must be scheduled by 8 p.m. ET on the due date.
FILING: Agencies can prepare and archive Forms 941, 945, and CT-1 with EFTPS, then print and mail the completed forms to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). Agencies also can electronically file a Form 941 via EFTPS. To do so, you will need a 10-digit IRS E-Filing Signature PIN. If you don’t have one, call the EFTPS for Federal Agencies Dedicated Customer Service line at 877-333-8292 to get an application.
