General Information

Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) is a method to pay your withholding taxes electronically. EFT is safe, secure, efficient and less expensive than paper check payments.

NOTE: Starting with 2009 filing periods, you must file a withholding tax return separately for each period. Your withholding payment no longer counts as your return.

When you authorize an EFT transfer, your bank will require you to specify a settlement date. The settlement date is the date your electronic payment will be taken from your account and credited to the Tax Commission's account. Payments you authorize before the tax due date will not be made until the settlement date. Because the ACH system requires at least one day to transfer funds, you must authorize your payment at least one business day before the due date. Some banks may require more than one day to process EFT payments. Check with your bank to allow enough processing time for your payment.

Rules and Guidelines

All laws and rules concerning Utah taxes, reporting periods and deadlines remain valid for EFT payments. We may assess a penalty for late payments. Payments are considered late if they: · arrive in the Tax Commission bank account after the due date, or · do not include all the required information. For due dates, see 2009 Monthly EFT End Dates in this publication.

Making Your First EFT Payment
Many banks require a pre-note (test transmission) for a zero amount before they will transfer actual funds. This may take up to 10 days to complete. Contact your bank for more information.

Addendum

Pre-authorization

You must submit form TC-86, Application to Remit Utah State Withholding Tax Payments, and be approved before you can make ACH credit payments. See the application at the end of this publication. We will send you written confirmation when we approve your application. Allow up to 10 days for confirmation.

Your transfer must include addenda information to identify your payment. Transfers must conform to the Tax Payment (TXP) Banking Conventions. Authorize your bank to make ACH-Credit CCD + TXP Addendum transfers.

Format and Content
Use one of the following addendum formats, depending on your account number: · Format A ­ for 6-character withholding account numbers · Format B ­ for 14-character withholding account numbers Please use your new 14-character withholding account number after you receive it. Do not use your 6-character number after Jan. 31, 2010.

Getting Started

You must authorize your bank to make EFT transfers. Make a separate transfer for each withholding tax account and each reporting period.

Format A: 6-Character Withholding Account Number
If you are using a 6-character number, make the transfer payable to: Credit to: Utah State Tax Commission Bank: Wells Fargo Bank Routing & transit number: 1240-00012 Account number: 051-08007-25 The addendum record must include the following fields. Fields marked with a (1) may vary, so pay special attention to those entries. When coding field 7, you must use a valid "tax period end date" (YYMMDD) for the tax period. Using the transmission or due date in this field will delay processing. See 2009 Monthly EFT End Dates in this publication.

Format B: 14-Character Withholding Account Number
Use only the first 11 digits of the 14-character number. Do not include the three letters at the end of the number. Make the transfer payable to: Credit to: Utah State Tax Commission Receiving bank: Wells Fargo Bank Routing & transit number: 1240-00012 Account number: 051-08051-61 The addendum record must include the following fields. Fields marked with a (1) may vary, so pay special attention to those entries. When coding field 7, you must use a valid "tax period enddate" (YYMMDD) for the tax period. Using the transmission or due date in this field will delay processing. See 2009 Monthly EFT End Dates in this publication.
