TTB has different Federal Excise Tax schedules based on specific qualifications, and for those who file semi-monthly, September is an unusual month as it has 3 return periods instead of two. The filing periods for non-EFT payments for September are as follows:
September 1 - September 15 (Due 9/27/2024)
September 16 - September 25 (Due 9/27/2024)
September 26 - September 30 (Due 10/11/2024)
Additionally, TTB requires those who are liable during any calendar year for $5 million or more in Federal Excise Taxes to make payment through Electronic Fund Transfer (EFT). Those paying through EFT have a different payment schedule in the month of September. EFT payment periods are as follows:
September 1 - September 15 (Due 9/27/2024)
September 16 - September 26 (Due 9/30/2024)
September 27 - September 30 (Due 10/11/2024)
