On December 27, IRS sent Notice CP-247 to inform employers that required federal deposits may not be made with Forms 8109/8109-B as of January 1, 2011. Taxpayers are advised to check with their financial institution to find out its cut-off date for accepting Federal Tax Deposit coupons.
Employers that are using a payroll service have already been depositing electronically through that service. Others must navigate to https://www.eftps.gov/eftps/ to enroll in the Electronic Federal Tax Payment System.
This system is available to both business and individual taxpayers. Be sure to set up a business account for payroll taxes and a personal account if you would like to use this method for 1040-ES (estimated tax) payments.
If you’re stuck and need to make a payment and your financial institution turns you away, you can take the payment to the IRS. In Austin: 825 E. Rundberg Ln. (IH35 and Rundberg)
