Compliant. And worry-free.
Non-payroll taxes can be confusing. Tiresome. And a major hassle. Why go through all that trouble month after month when you can use the Electronic Tax Compliance service from Advantage? Offered to any full tax filing client in good standing, this service covers the non-payroll tax deposits that have been mandated as part of the Electronic Federal Tax Payment System (EFTPS). These include corporate (1120), fuel, excise and various 990 series payments.

To avoid late payments and penalties, all you have to do is specify the taxes you want to use ETC for, and the date(s) your tax payments are due. Then you can relax — the rest is up to us!


How does it work?
You must have a compatible fax machine to participate in ETC. Along with a credit verification, Advantage will initiate a test of your fax machine during the enrollment period.

Around the middle of every month, Advantage faxes a notice of liability to our clients. This fax contains a payment notification for the following month and a payment confirmation for the previous month. The fax gives clients the opportunity to review the information for accuracy and make changes if necessary. If Advantage does not hear back, the noted deposits are made.

Three days prior to the deposit date, Advantage's tax paying system will initiate an ACH debit to the client account in the amount of the tax due. A fax version of the client statement is also sent out simultaneously for confirmation, giving the client one final opportunity to call and cancel the payment. However, in order to make the cutoff, Advantage must initiate the payment the day before it is due.
