PAYMENT OPTIONS
DOR currently offers two methods of EFT payment options, ACH (Automated ClearingHouse) debit and ACH credit.
ACH Debit – This method of payment allows the taxpayer to authorize a transfer of funds from an account at an ACH participating financial institution to the Commonwealth’s bank account. This is accomplished through contact with DOR’s data collection service. The cost for reporting by using this type transaction is paid for by the Commonwealth. Any costs that are charged by the taxpayer’s financial institution will be the responsibility of the taxpayer.
ACH Credit - This method allows the taxpayer to transfer funds to the Commonwealth’s bank account by instructing their financial institution to debit their account and credit the Commonwealth’s bank account.
Information outlining the procedures for submitting electronic payments will be forwarded to the taxpayer once the EFT Authorization Agreement has been processed. Please allow a few weeks for the EFT Authorization Agreement to be processed by the EFT Group.
RETURN FILING REQUIREMENTS
Taxpayers making payments via EFT must continue to file their tax returns on a timely basis. The filing requirements do not change for tax returns that are being filed for Sales & Use, Bank Franchise and Motor Fuels taxes. For withholding taxes, the payment due dates do not change; however, returns will only be required to be filed on a quarterly basis.
Payments for amended returns should not be submitted via EFT.
EFT HELP DESK
The DOR provides a help desk for EFT participants. Please contact the EFT Group at 1-800-839-4137 with any questions about DOR’s EFT program.
CHANGES TO ACCOUNTS
The EFT Group will also need to be contacted if there are any changes to a taxpayer’s data: change of financial institutions (EFT Bank Change Form (46K)), change of address or phone number, change of taxpayer contact information or if the Kentucky ID number is cancelled.
Any requests to be removed from DOR’s EFT program will need to be submitted in writing to the EFT Group for consideration. This request must contain the taxpayer’s name, the FEIN, the KY ID #, a contact name and phone number. This request may be faxed or mailed to the EFT Group.
