Notice to Customers Making Payment by Check
If you send us a check, it will be converted into an electronic funds transfer (EFT). This means we will copy your check and use the account
information on it to electronically debit your account for the amount of the check. The debit from your account will usually occur within 24
hours, and will be shown on your regular account statement.
You will not receive your original check back. We will destroy your original check, but we will keep the copy of it. If the EFT cannot be
processed for technical reasons, you authorize us to process the copy in place of your original check. If the EFT cannot be completed
because of insufficient funds, we may try to make the transfer up to 2 times.

Who must deposit?
● If you are the manufacturer, producer, or importer of pistols, revolvers, other firearms, or shells and cartridges (articles), you are required to make
deposits once your tax liability exceeds $2,000 during a calendar quarter (January to March, April to June, July to September, and October to
December)
● You are not required to make a deposit if you have been instructed by TTB to file semi-monthly returns.

C.

How do I determine how much tax I owe?
● You owe tax based on the sales price of the articles you sell or use.

D.

When do I file deposits and when are they due?
● You must file and pay your first deposit beginning with the semi-monthly period in which your tax liability exceeds $2,000. For the remaining
semi-monthly periods during the quarter, you must file deposits and pay the tax you owe for each semi-monthly period through the end of the
quarter.
● Once your tax liability exceeds $2,000, deposits are due for each semi-monthly period - except for the last semi-monthly period in September.

E.

How much do I deposit?
● You must deposit at least the amount of the unpaid liability for the first deposit of a calendar quarter. All other deposits must be at least equal to
the amount of the tax liability incurred for the period.
● You may be able to use the following rules if you expect your tax liability to exceed $2,000 during the calendar quarter:

Look-Back Quarter Rule
The look-back quarter is the second preceding calendar quarter.
For example, the look-back quarter for July through September 2006 is
January through March 2006. Except for September 16 - 30, you must
make a deposit for each semi-monthly period which is at least 1/6 of
the amount of the tax liability for the look-back quarter. For each of the
periods of September 16 - 25 and September 26 - 30, you must make
a deposit, which is at least 1/12 the amount of the tax liability for the
look-back quarter.
You may use this rule even if you did not file a return for the look-back
quarter. However, this rule only applies if you incurred tax and timely
filed a return on TTB Form 5300.26 for your business or trade in a
quarter preceding the look-back quarter.

First-Time Filer Rule
You are a first-time filer if you have never filed a return on TTB F 5300.26
or you only filed a one-time or occasional return.
You are a first-time filer if you have not been engaged in a business
or trade covered by a return.
If you are a first-time filer, you must make a deposit of not less than
95 percent of the amount of your tax liability for each semi-monthly period.
You cannot use this rule if you are late with any semi-monthly
deposit or if you pay your taxes late on the return for the calendar
quarter.

You cannot use this rule if you made a late deposit during a calendar
quarter or owe tax for a calendar quarter.
