Federal Tax Deposits
You can make your deposits either electronically, using the Electronic Federal Tax Payment System (EFTPS), or by taking your deposit and Form 8109-B, Federal Tax Deposit Coupon to an authorized financial institution or a Federal Reserve bank serving your area. Five to six weeks after you receive your employer identification number (EIN) , the IRS will send you the coupon book. If you have a deposit due and there is not enough time to obtain a coupon book, blank coupons (Form 8109-B) are available at most local IRS offices. You cannot use photocopies of the coupons to make your deposits.
NOTE: If you don't have your EIN by the time a return is due, write "Applied for" and the date you applied in the space shown for the number. Do not use your social security number. Also, for faster service in obtaining an EIN, you may now apply for your EIN using the online EIN application . Tip: For simplicity, consider depositing employment taxes on each payday (which is the day the employer becomes liable), so deposit requirements are met without having to bother with IRS deposit requirement dates.
