How to Make EFTPS Payments Using TaxBandits: A Step-by-Step Guide

For businesses responsible for paying federal taxes, the Electronic Federal Tax Payment System (EFTPS) offers a convenient way to submit payments electronically. While the IRS provides its own EFTPS system, using a comprehensive tax solution like TaxBandits can simplify the process even further. In this article, we’ll walk you through how to make EFTPS payments using TaxBandits, ensuring that your tax payments are submitted accurately and on time.

Why Use TaxBandits for EFTPS Payments?

TaxBandits offers a seamless and integrated platform to manage your tax obligations, including EFTPS Online payments. By using TaxBandits, you can:

Stay Compliant: TaxBandits keeps you up-to-date with tax laws and deadlines, so you never miss a payment.

With these benefits in mind, let’s dive into how you can make your EFTPS payments using TaxBandits.

Step 1: Log in to Your TaxBandits Account

Before you can make EFTPS payments, you’ll need to have a registered TaxBandits account. Once logged in:

Go to the Dashboard: The dashboard provides a summary of your account, including any upcoming tax deadlines.

Access the EFTPS Section: Navigate to the EFTPS payment section from the main menu to begin the payment process.

Step 2: Set Up Your EFTPS Account in TaxBandits

If this is your first time making an EFTPS payment through TaxBandits, you’ll need to set up your EFTPS account. This includes:

Employer Identification Number (EIN): Provide your business’s EIN, which is required for making federal tax payments.

Banking Information: Input the bank account details from which the payments will be debited. Ensure that the account has sufficient funds for the tax payment.

PIN and Password: If you already have an EFTPS account registered with the IRS, you’ll need to enter your unique PIN and password to authorize payments through TaxBandits.

Once your account is set up, it will be securely stored for future payments, so you don’t have to re-enter these details again.

Step 3: Select the Tax Form and Payment Type

TaxBandits simplifies the process by automatically populating tax payment information based on your payroll data. Here’s how:

Select the Type of Tax: Choose from the list of federal taxes you need to pay. Common payment types include:

Income tax withholding (Form 941)

Social Security and Medicare taxes (Form 941)

Unemployment tax (Form 940)

Estimated tax payments (Form 1040-ES)

Enter the Payment Amount: TaxBandits will automatically calculate the payment amount based on the data in your account. However, you can manually adjust the amount if necessary.

Verify Payment Codes: Each tax payment type requires a specific payment code, which is automatically assigned by TaxBandits. This ensures that your payment is applied to the correct tax type and period.

Step 4: Schedule Your Payment

With TaxBandits, you have the flexibility to schedule your payments in advance, ensuring that you meet all IRS deadlines without hassle:

Step 5: Review and Submit

Before submitting your payment, it’s essential to review all details to ensure accuracy:

Payment Summary: TaxBandits will display a summary of your payment details, including the tax type, amount, and scheduled date.

Verify Bank Information: Double-check your bank account details to ensure the payment will be debited from the correct account.

Submit the Payment: Once you’re satisfied with the details, click “Submit” to process the payment. TaxBandits will securely transmit your payment to the IRS via EFTPS.

Step 6: Receive Confirmation

After submitting your payment, you’ll receive an instant confirmation:

Email Notification: TaxBandits will send you a confirmation email with a unique reference number for the transaction. This serves as proof of payment.

Payment Tracking: You can track the status of your payment in the TaxBandits dashboard to ensure it has been processed by the IRS.

hey hi this sounds insane but will you please elaborate on the au you were just telling calico about I just saw it on my dashboard that sounds so fucking cool I :3 I've never spoken to you in my life but 🙏🙏🙏🤝🤝🤝🤝 big fan of faz frights aus you have no idea eye twitch insane insane insane /pos hii 🐱🐱🐱

hiiii!!! ^v^ uhhhh i'm assuming that this is about eftp!! i'm gonna talk about it but if this isn't about eftp i am so sorry i am a little stupid. uhhh anyways LOTS of rambling under the cut here you go anon :3

right okay so eftp / escape from the pit is a post-epilogues au about a bunch of the characters that's?? mostly canon compliant?? outside of characters having relations that aren't canon whatsoever because i am silly like that. so uhhh there's two main groups of characters who get followed in the story, which are pit gang ( devon, millie, andrew and kelsey ) and the actually alive characters. ( larson, mick, shelly and oswald ) there's also some other characters off to the side doing their own thing ( hi connor hi chuck hi tabitha )

so like millie and devon know each other and millie dies before devon so devon specifically remembers millie NOT being in school for a while. and yet he's seen her around school the last few days and they realize shit's like really fucked up. and andrew shows up and goes " hey you guys need help " and dev and millie agree to take this random kid's help and they start going through ballpits around hurricane in order to get out of the ballpit. yknow from the epilogues. uhhh in the meantime kelsey!! relives the day they died initially because they're a ghost from the 80's and decides they finally wanna get revenge so they join up with the rest of pit gang to get outta there so they can all finish up their business.

MEANWHILE larson is still getting involved in freddy's shenanigans and is investigating a bunch of very weird paranormal events around town being caused by certain dead characters NOT in the ballpit he gets leads from other characters connected to them, and this is where mick and shelly, who are both currently in college, come in. oswald later gets involved too due to his relation to the ballpit. ( shelly only really gets involved because she wants to figure out what happened to reed. ) idk what their endgame is yet but i promise i will figure it out!! uhhh at some point they run into connor, chuck and tabitha and that's a nod to ANOTHER au i have ( not important ) and they help out but they're not a MAJOR factor.

jake?? is kinda like the main antagonist?? but only in the sense that he's doing something that's not really helping because he thinks it's what's best for everyone. giving them happy memories so they don't have to realize they're dead sounded like a good plan to him but also uhh... there's some holes in those memories ( like what happened with devon and millie ) and he doesn't?? really know that. really he's just trying his best

[bonnielunkas]

RIGHT RIGHT RIGHT OKAY SO devon and millie aren't really happy with the fact that they're being kept in the funny little ballpit since they both have some unfinished business ( millie wants to actually see her family again, devon wants to apologize to mick for making him keep all hush-hush abt kelsey's death ) and decide to go find a way out. uhhh andrew tags along with them to help them navigate and lets them know that jake's the one behind it and millie's like " wait that little brunette kid???? " and devon's like " YOU SAW HIM TOO???? " and they think they have a common enemy but andrew's like " no jake's just trying to help us have a nice afterlife i think " but devon's not really having any of it and he decides to go find jake and give him a piece of his mind ( he is like 10 devon is like 14. i love bullying kids /j ) meanwhile millie and andrew are like " that is. a really bad idea " but andrew doesn't try to stop him and millie can't really. do anything to stop devon and since these three are the pov characters in the ballpit most of the time jake gets framed as a bad guy by them ( devon ) for most of it when he's just?? trying to do what he thinks it best for the dead people

i love u eftp / escape from the pit / pit au........ < insane about own post-epilogues au where i make devon n millie and andrew and also kelsey all experience the fucking horrors in that ballpit while larson and mick and oswald all try to figure out what the fuck is going on in that ballpit ( oswald doesn't want to be here ) and chuck and connor and tabitha are all doing their own investigation too separate from larson and co. and jake is accidentally the main antagonist even though he's not really trying to do anything wrong he just wants to help everyone have a nice afterlife :[

THAT SOUNDS SO COOL ACTUALLY... I WANNA KNOW WHY JAKE IS THE ANTAG... TILTS HEAD

Alvin Ubaldo - Step-by-Step Approach to Preparing Your Estimated Taxes

When you’re self-employed or earn income that isn’t subject to regular withholding—like freelance work, rental income, dividends, or gig work—handling taxes becomes your responsibility. You don’t want to be surprised with a big tax bill (and penalties) at the end of the year. That’s where estimated taxes come in. Alvin Ubaldo breaks down the step-by-step process to help you prepare and pay your estimated taxes accurately and on time.

Understand Who Needs to Pay Estimated Taxes

Before you start crunching numbers, determine whether you’re required to pay estimated taxes. According to the IRS, you generally need to make estimated payments if:

You expect to owe $1,000 or more in tax for the year after subtracting withholding and credits.

Your income isn’t subject to regular withholding (e.g., from an employer), such as self-employment income, interest, dividends, rental income, or capital gains.

Alvin Ubaldo’s Tip: Even if you're working a regular job but have significant side income, you might need to adjust your withholding or make estimated payments to avoid penalties.

Gather All Your Income Sources

The next step is collecting all your income information. This includes:

1099 forms for freelance or contractor work

Records of business income or cash earnings

Rental property income statements

Investment dividends and interest

Any other untaxed income

You’ll need this information to estimate your total income for the year.

Alvin’s Insight: Alvin Ubaldo says to always keep detailed records—not just for taxes, but to better understand your financial health and make more accurate quarterly payments.

Estimate Your Taxable Income

Once you have your gross income, subtract any deductions you’re eligible for. These might include:

Self-employment tax deduction

Business expenses

Contributions to retirement plans (e.g., SEP IRA)

Health insurance premiums (if self-employed)

Standard or itemized deductions

Subtracting deductions from your gross income gives you your taxable income.

Alvin Ubaldo’s suggestion: Don’t guess. Use past returns and current income projections to make realistic estimates. If you're unsure, consider using an IRS tax calculator or consulting a tax professional.

Calculate How Much Tax You Owe

Using your taxable income, calculate the federal tax you’ll owe. You can use the IRS tax brackets for the current year to determine your rate. Don’t forget to include:

Self-employment tax: This covers Social Security and Medicare. It's currently 15.3%.

Additional taxes: Depending on your income, you may owe additional taxes (e.g., Net Investment Income Tax).

Add all this together to get your total expected tax liability.

Pro Tip from Alvin: If you had a big income change from the previous year, avoid relying solely on your past tax return as a reference. Adjust accordingly.

Divide and Conquer—Quarterly Payments

The IRS expects you to pay taxes quarterly, not just once a year. Divide your total estimated annual tax by four. These payments are typically due on

April 15

June 15

September 15

January 15 (of the following year)

Use Form 1040-ES to file these payments.

Alvin Ubaldo’s Reminder: Even if your income fluctuates through the year, make your best estimate for each quarter. You can adjust your payments later as your income changes.

Pay On Time to Avoid Penalties

Failing to pay estimated taxes—or underpaying—can lead to IRS penalties. Set calendar reminders or automate payments through the IRS Direct Pay system or EFTPS (Electronic Federal Tax Payment System).

Alvin’s Advice: Don’t wait until the last minute. Early and consistent payments help avoid stress and financial surprises.

Keep Records and Stay Organized

Finally, save copies of all payment confirmations, 1040-ES forms, income documentation, and calculations. These will help you:

Track what you’ve paid

Recalculate if needed mid-year

Prepare for year-end taxes or audits

Alvin Ubaldo says, Good recordkeeping isn’t just smart—it’s essential. Use software like QuickBooks, a spreadsheet, or a simple folder system to stay on top of it.

Final Thoughts

Handling estimated taxes doesn’t have to be overwhelming. With the right approach, it becomes a manageable part of your financial routine. Alvin Ubaldo’s step-by-step method emphasizes clarity, accuracy, and consistency. Whether you’re a freelancer, landlord, or small business owner, following these steps can keep you on the right side of the IRS—and in control of your finances.

What Is Form 2290 and How Do You File It for 2025?

If you are a truck owner or operator in the United States, understanding your tax obligations is critical to staying compliant and avoiding penalties. One of the key IRS documents that every heavy vehicle owner needs to know about is Form 2290. This form is essential for reporting and paying the Heavy Vehicle Use Tax (HVUT), which applies to motor vehicles weighing 55,000 pounds or more.

In this guide, we will cover everything you need to know about Form 2290 for the 2025 tax year, including who needs to file, how to file, what is new for 2025, and how to ensure you're meeting all requirements in English and Spanish for better accessibility.

Who Needs to File Form 2290?

Form 2290 must be filed by anyone who owns or operates a highway motor vehicle with a gross weight of 55,000 pounds or more. These vehicles are primarily used for transportation on public highways and are subject to the HVUT.

You must file this form if:

You own a heavy vehicle used on public highways

Your vehicle is registered in your name

The gross weight of the vehicle meets or exceeds the IRS threshold

The vehicle is expected to be in use for at least one month during the tax period

Even if you are a one-truck independent operator or a large fleet manager, filing this form is mandatory.

What Is Formulario 2290?

For Spanish-speaking filers, Formulario 2290 is simply the Spanish reference to Form 2290. It contains the same information and serves the same purpose. While the IRS does not currently offer a Spanish version of the form itself, Spanish-speaking truckers can use assistance services or third-party e-file providers that offer bilingual support to ensure accurate and timely submission.

Key Details About the 2025 Tax Period

The tax period for Form 2290 2025 begins on July 1, 2025, and ends on June 30, 2026. If your vehicle is first used in July 2025, you must file Form 2290 by August 31, 2025. The IRS usually provides a filing window that allows truck owners to stay current and compliant.

It's important to file early and avoid penalties for late submission. Interest and fees can accumulate quickly if the HVUT is not paid on time.

How to File Form 2290

There are two main ways to file Form 2290:

1. Electronic Filing (E-File)

The most recommended method by the IRS, e-filing is fast, secure, and efficient. If you are filing for 25 or more vehicles, e-filing is mandatory.

Benefits of e-filing include:

Instant IRS approval

Easy access to Schedule 1 (proof of payment)

Error-checking features

Convenient online payment options

Many IRS-authorized e-file providers offer step-by-step guidance for truck owners and fleet managers.

2. Paper Filing

This traditional method is available for those who prefer mailing their forms. However, it takes longer, and there's a higher risk of delays or mistakes.

To paper file:

Download Form 2290 from the IRS website

Complete the form manually

Mail it to the appropriate IRS office

Wait several weeks for confirmation

Documents You Need to File

Before filing, make sure you have the following information ready:

Employer Identification Number (EIN)

Vehicle Identification Number (VIN)

Gross taxable weight of your vehicle(s)

First use month of the vehicle

Authorized payment method (EFTPS, check, money order, or credit/debit card)

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Using a Social Security Number instead of an EIN

Filing under the wrong tax year

Entering incorrect VINs

Missing the filing deadline

Not e-filing when required

By preparing properly and double-checking all information, you can avoid these costly errors.

Final Thoughts

Form 2290 is more than just a tax form—it's a critical piece of your compliance as a heavy vehicle operator. Whether you refer to it as Form 2290, formulario 2290, or are preparing for the upcoming form 2290 2025 deadline, staying informed and proactive is the key to avoiding penalties and ensuring your vehicles stay on the road. Make sure to file on time, use the correct information, and consider e-filing for the fastest results. If needed, seek help from IRS-authorized providers who can walk you through the process in your preferred language.

Understanding Form 720

What is Form 720?

Form 720, Quarterly Federal Excise Tax Return is used by businesses to report and pay federal excise taxes on specific goods, services, and activities. These taxes apply to items such as fuel, air transportation, and certain manufacturer taxes. The form must be filed quarterly with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), and payments can be made electronically through the Electronic Federal Tax Payment System (EFTPS).

When is Form 720 Due?

Form 720 is due quarterly, with the following deadlines each year:

April 30 (for the first quarter: January–March)

July 31 (for the second quarter: April–June)

October 31 (for the third quarter: July–September)

January 31 (for the fourth quarter: October–December)

The form must be filed by these dates to avoid penalties.

Who needs to file Form 720?

Form 720 must be filed by businesses that are responsible for paying federal excise taxes on specific goods and services. This includes manufacturers, retailers, airlines, and other businesses that produce, sell, or use taxable products and services. Depending on the type of excise tax owed, these businesses may be required to file the Quarterly Federal Excise Tax Return (Form 720) up to four times per year. Filing ensures compliance with IRS regulations and timely payment of excise taxes.

How much is the IRS penalty for not filing Form 720?

If Form 720 is not filed by the due date, the IRS may impose a penalty for late filing. This penalty is typically 5% of the unpaid excise tax for each month the return is late, up to a maximum of 25% of the total tax owed. Additionally, if the tax remains unpaid, interest charges may also apply, further increasing the amount due. To avoid penalties and interest, businesses should ensure they file Form 720 on time and pay any applicable excise taxes promptly.

How to pay Form 720?

Businesses can pay the excise taxes reported on Form 720 using either the traditional manual method or the electronic method. 

The manual method involves mailing a check or money order, along with a completed Form 720-V (Payment Voucher), to the IRS at the address specified in the form’s instructions.

Alternatively, the electronic method allows businesses to make payments securely through the Electronic Federal Tax Payment System (EFTPS), which is the IRS’s preferred method for faster and more reliable transactions. EFTPS enables businesses to schedule payments in advance and track their tax payments online. Regardless of the method chosen, it is crucial to submit payments on time to avoid penalties and interest.

The EFTPS quarterly tax payment system got a login overhaul and no one warned me.

I tried to log in to EFTPS last night to pay my quarterly taxes and was surprised that they've revamped their authentication flow.

They now have three options for Multi-Factor Authentication, and I had to pick one and set that up before I could even get to the page to enter my EFTPS credentials.

The first option they have, PIV/CAC is only for federal employees, so that's not helpful to me.

The next two options for everyone else are login.gov and id.me.

I looked at both options and login.gov seemed easier to set up quickly (and they’re not a private company that collects biometric data), so I’m gonna recommend them.

If you like processes, I took notes on my steps:

1. Visit https://www.eftps.gov/eftps/

2. Click the “MAKE A PAYMENT” button

3. Wait for a new page to load with three login options

4. Click the “LOGIN.GOV” button

5. Wait for the Login.Gov|Treasury page to load

6. Click “create an account”

7. Enter your e-mail address

8. Select English

9. Accept the Rules of Use

10. Click Submit

11. Check your e-mail for a confirmation link

12. Load the URL from the confirmation link

13. Enter a secure password

14. Set up MFA with your preferred methods (app-dependent and out of scope for these instructions)

15. At this point, if you were quick enough, it might take you straight to the EFTPS traditional login page, which still requires your old EFTPS enrollment credentials. If not, head back to the EFTPS page and click MAKE A PAYMENT and use your login.gov credentials and MFA now.

I would strongly recommend setting that all up now, and not waiting until January 16th, as this will be the first tax deadline this system was in place for and we have no idea how well the servers can handle the load.

Step-by-Step Interactive Filing Guide for Form 2290

Filing taxes can be daunting, especially when dealing with the Heavy Vehicle Use Tax (HVUT) and Form 2290. This step-by-step guide aims to simplify the process and ensure you file your Form 2290 accurately and on time. Whether you're new to this or need a refresher, this interactive guide will walk you through each step. For a seamless experience, you can always rely on truck2290.com, which offers comprehensive support for your Form 2290 filing needs.  

Step 1: Gather Necessary Information

Before you start filling out Form 2290, gather all the necessary information. This will streamline the process and reduce the risk of errors.

Required Information:

Employer Identification Number (EIN): You must have an EIN to file Form 2290. If you don't have one, apply for it well in advance.

Vehicle Identification Number (VIN): Ensure the VIN for each taxable vehicle is accurate.

Taxable Gross Weight: This is the weight of the vehicle fully equipped for service.

Step 2: Determine the Taxable Gross Weight

The taxable gross weight of your vehicle determines the tax you owe. Use the table provided by the IRS to find the correct weight category for your vehicle. This includes the weight of the vehicle when fully loaded with cargo and passengers.

Step 3: Calculate the HVUT

Using the IRS guidelines, calculate the HVUT based on your vehicle’s taxable gross weight. For multiple vehicles, calculate the tax for each one separately. For a quick and accurate calculation, try the interactive tax calculator.

Step 4: Complete Form 2290

With all your information ready, you can now complete Form 2290. Here’s a breakdown of the key sections you need to fill out:

Part I: Vehicle Information

Line 1: Enter your EIN.

Line 2: Enter the taxable period (July 1 of the current year to June 30 of the next year).

Line 3: Enter the date the vehicle was first used in the tax period.

Line 4: List each vehicle's VIN and taxable gross weight.

Part II: Tax Computation

Line 5: Calculate the tax based on the vehicle’s weight.

Line 6: Add any additional taxes for vehicles used in logging.

Line 7: Total the tax due for all vehicles.

Step 5: Choose Your Filing Method

You can file Form 2290 either electronically or by paper. E-filing is recommended for its speed and convenience, especially if you are reporting 25 or more vehicles. Truck2290.com offers an easy-to-use platform for e-filing, ensuring quick and accurate submission.

Step 6: Make the Payment

The IRS provides several payment options for the HVUT:

Electronic Funds Withdrawal (EFW): Directly from your bank account.

Electronic Federal Tax Payment System (EFTPS): Requires prior enrollment.

Credit or Debit Card: Convenient and immediate payment.

Check or Money Order: Traditional method, but slower processing.

Step 7: Submit Your Form 2290

If filing electronically, submit your Form 2290 through a trusted e-file provider like truck2290.com. If filing by paper, mail the completed form and payment to the IRS address listed on the form instructions.

Step 8: Receive Your Schedule 1

Once the IRS processes your Form 2290, you will receive a stamped Schedule 1 as proof of payment. This document is crucial for registering your vehicle with your state’s Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV).

How to Calculate and Pay Estimated Taxes for Your Business?

Running a successful business involves not only generating revenue but also fulfilling your tax obligations. For many business owners, calculating and paying estimated taxes can be a complex but necessary task. In this article, we'll guide you through the process of calculating and paying estimated taxes for your business, helping you stay compliant with the IRS.

What Are Estimated Taxes?

Estimated taxes are a way for individuals and businesses to pay their income and self-employment taxes throughout the year, rather than in one lump sum at tax time. If you're a sole proprietor, a partner in a partnership, an S corporation shareholder, or a self-employed individual, you likely need to make estimated tax payments.

Why Are Estimated Taxes Important?

Paying estimated taxes is essential for several reasons:

Avoid Penalties

The IRS imposes penalties for underpayment of taxes. Paying estimated taxes on time can help you avoid these penalties.

Cash Flow Management

By making regular estimated tax payments, you can better manage your business's cash flow, ensuring you have sufficient funds when tax time arrives.

Smooth Tax Filing

Paying estimated taxes can simplify your annual tax return. You'll have already paid a significant portion of your tax liability, reducing the amount due in April.

Step-by-Step Guide to Calculating and Paying Estimated Taxes

Determine Your Expected Annual Income

Start by estimating your business's annual income. Consider all sources of income, including revenue from sales, investments, and any other sources relevant to your business.

Calculate Your Taxable Income

Next, calculate your taxable income by subtracting your business expenses, deductions, and credits from your estimated annual income. This will give you an approximation of your taxable income.

Estimate Your Tax Liability

Use the IRS tax rate schedule or tax software to determine your estimated tax liability based on your taxable income. Be sure to account for any specific tax deductions or credits applicable to your business.

Determine Your Payment Frequency

The IRS provides specific due dates for estimated tax payments. These are typically every quarter, but your business circumstances may require different timing. Consult IRS guidelines or a tax professional to determine your payment schedule.

Complete Form 1040-ES

To submit your estimated tax payments, complete IRS Form 1040-ES. This form helps you calculate the amount you should pay each quarter. You can download this form from the IRS website.

Make Quarterly Payments

Submit your estimated tax payments using the payment vouchers provided in Form 1040-ES. You can pay electronically through the Electronic Federal Tax Payment System (EFTPS) or by mailing a check with the payment voucher.

Keep Detailed Records

Maintain accurate records of all estimated tax payments made throughout the year. This documentation will be essential when filing your annual tax return.

Adjust as Needed

Review your estimated tax payments periodically. If your income or deductions change significantly during the year, adjust your estimated payments accordingly. Failing to do so could result in underpayment penalties.

Tips for Smooth Estimated Tax Payments

Consult a tax professional:

If your tax situation is complex or you're unsure about calculations, seek assistance from a certified tax expert.

Consider electronic payments:

Using EFTPS or electronic payment methods ensures timely and secure payments.

Save for taxes:

Set aside a portion of your income for estimated taxes to avoid cash flow issues.

Stay informed:

Keep up with changes in tax laws and IRS guidelines that may affect your estimated tax payments.

Plan:

Accurate financial forecasting can help you estimate your income and tax liability more effectively.

In conclusion, paying estimated taxes is a critical aspect of managing your business's financial responsibilities. By following these steps and staying organized, you can ensure that your estimated tax payments are accurate, timely, and compliant with IRS regulations.

Remember that maintaining accurate records and seeking professional guidance when needed is key to successful tax management for your business.

For businesses, calculating and paying estimated taxes is crucial for IRS compliance. Tax planning services can assist in accurate, timely payments.
