Privacy Act and Paperwork Reduction Notice
We ask for the information on this form to carry out the Internal Revenue laws of the United States. We need this information to ensure that you are complying with the revenue laws and to allow us to
figure and collect the right amount of tax. Our authority to ask for this information is 5 U.S.C. 301 and Internal Revenue Code sections 6001, 6011, 6012, and their applicable regulations. Section 6109
requires filers to provide their SSN or other identifying numbers. The information will be used to enroll you in the Electronic Federal Tax Payment System (EFTPS) and to ensure that payment(s) are
properly credited to the appropriate account(s).
Generally, tax returns and return information are confidential, as stated in section 6103 of the Internal Revenue Code. However, section 6103 allows or requires the Internal Revenue Service to disclose
such information to the Department of Justice for civil and criminal litigation, and to cities, states, the District of Columbia, and U.S. commonwealths and possessions for use in administering their tax laws.
We may also disclose this information to other countries under a tax treaty, to federal and state agencies to enforce federal nontax criminal laws, or to federal law enforcement and intelligence agencies to
combat terrorism. If you are required by regulation to use electronic funds transfer to make your deposits, your response is mandatory; failure to provide all of the requested information or providing false
or fraudulent information may subject you to penalties. If you are not required by regulation to use electronic funds transfer, your response is voluntary; failure to provide all of the requested information
may prevent processing of this form, and providing false or fraudulent information may subject you to penalties. If you are not required to use electronic funds transfer to pay taxes owed, you need to pay
the taxes due by another method.
You are not required to provide information requested on a form that is subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act unless the form displays a valid OMB control number. Books or records relating to a form or
its instructions must be retained as long as their contents may become material in the administration of any Internal Revenue law. The time needed to provide this information will vary depending on
individual circumstances. The estimated average time is ten minutes. If you have comments concerning the accuracy of this time estimate or suggestions for reducing this burden, we would be happy to
hear from you. You can write to the IRS Tax Products Coordinating Committee, SE:W:CAR:MP:T:T:SP, 1111 Constitution Ave. NW, IR 6526, Washington, DC 20224. Please do not send the enrollment
