IRS Form 720: Quarterly Federal Excise Tax Return

File Your Excise Taxes Quickly & Accurately

IRS Form 720, also known as the Quarterly Federal Excise Tax Return, is the form businesses use to report and pay excise taxes on certain goods, services, and activities. If your business deals with fuel, air transportation, environmental products, tires, or communications services, you may be required to file Form 720 every quarter. Filing this form on time is crucial to avoid penalties, interest, and IRS notices.

What is IRS Form 720?

Form 720 is a tax return used by businesses to report federal excise taxes that apply to specific industries and products. Excise taxes are not income taxes – they are special federal taxes placed on particular items such as fuel, chemicals, airline tickets, tires, and telecommunications services. The IRS requires businesses to file Form 720 each quarter if they produce, sell, or provide taxable goods and services.
