Manufacturer Taxes

You must file Manufacturer Excise Taxes if you are a: • Manufacturer, producer, or importer of taxable goods. • Business dealing with coal, tires, fuel-inefficient vehicles, or vaccines. If you create, modify, assemble, or bring these products into the U.S. market, you are responsible for reporting and paying manufacturer excise taxes.

Before filing, prepare: • Business name, address, and EIN. • Product type (coal, tires, vehicles, vaccines). • Sales or production quantities. • Pricing or weight records as required by IRS rules.

When filing online, provide the following for each taxable product: Tax Date – date of manufacture, sale, or import. Product Type – coal, tires, vehicle, or vaccine. Quantity or Units – tons, tires, vehicles, or doses. Sales Data / Weight – as applicable to IRS rules. Tax Amount ($) – the system will auto-calculate using the correct IRS rates. You only enter product details; the system applies the IRS tax rate automatically.

Exemptions may apply for certain export sales or non-taxable uses. If tax was incorrectly collected, you may file for a credit or refund. Prior quarter corrections can be made using Form 720-X.

Confirm product details and quantities. Double-check that exempt sales are excluded. The system will flag any missing or invalid information. Submit Form 720 electronically after review.

Pay excise taxes through integrated IRS-compliant payment methods (EFTPS, ACH, EFW, debit/credit card). Save partially completed returns and finish later. Keep filed returns and supporting sales records for at least three years. Access prior filings and payment history anytime in your dashboard.
