What Is Federal Excise Tax and Who Needs to File Form 720?
Filing Form 720 is a tax imposed by the U.S. government on specific goods, services, and activities such as fuel, air transportation, environmental products and indoor tanning services. Businesses that manufacture, sell, or are responsible for collecting these taxes must report them to the IRS using Form 720, the Quarterly Federal Excise Tax Return. Companies with excise tax liability are required to file Form 720 each quarter to report and pay these taxes. Using our online filing platform can make the process faster, more accurate, and easier for businesses to stay compliant with IRS excise tax regulations.
Whether you're managing PCORI fees for your health insurance plan or filing Form 8849 to claim a refund on excise taxes, our secure online platform streamlines every step of the federal excise tax process.
