Purpose of Form

Complete Form 945-V if you’re making a payment with
Form 945. We will use the completed voucher to credit
your payment more promptly and accurately, and to
improve our service to you.

Box 1—Employer identification number (EIN). If you
don’t have an EIN, you may apply for one online by
visiting the IRS website at www.irs.gov/EIN. You may also
apply for an EIN by faxing or mailing Form SS-4 to the
IRS. If you haven’t received your EIN by the due date of
Form 945, write “Applied For” and the date you applied in
this entry space.
Box 2—Amount paid. Enter the amount paid with Form
945.
Box 3—Name and address. Enter your name and
address as shown on Form 945.
• Enclose your check or money order made payable to
“United States Treasury.” Be sure to enter your EIN,
“Form 945,” and “2020” on your check or money order.
Don’t send cash. Don’t staple Form 945-V or your
payment to the return (or to each other).
• Detach Form 945-V and send it with your payment and
Form 945 to the address provided in the Instructions for
Form 945.
Note: You must also complete the entity information
above line A on Form 945.

To avoid a penalty, make your payment with your 2020
Form 945 only if:
• Your total taxes for the year (Form 945, line 3) are less
than $2,500 and you’re paying in full with a timely filed
return, or
• You’re a monthly schedule depositor making a payment
in accordance with the Accuracy of Deposits Rule. See
section 11 of Pub. 15 for details. In this case, the amount
of your payment may be $2,500 or more.
Otherwise, you must make deposits by electronic funds
transfer. See section 11 of Pub. 15 for deposit
instructions. Don’t use Form 945-V to make federal tax
deposits.
Use Form 945-V when making any payment with
Form 945. However, if you pay an amount with
Form 945 that should’ve been deposited,
CAUTION
