Greetings! This week we’re providing a reminder and some tips for alcohol industry members eligible for annual filing.

ANNUAL FILERS: 2020 TAX RETURNS/PAYMENTS/OPERATIONAL REPORTS ARE DUE SOON

The due dates for annual filers are fast approaching!

If you are an alcohol industry member eligible to file annual excise tax returns, the due date for filing your 2020 return and paying taxes due is January 14, 2021.

If you are a Bonded Winery or Bonded Wine Cellar eligible to file an annual operational report, the due date for filing your 2020 report is January 15, 2021.

Tips:

• We encourage you to start ensuring your 2020 records are up-to-date so that you can timely file your return and make payment to avoid penalties and interest.
• Use the tax rates that apply to calendar years 2018-2020 when determining what you owe.
• You can file your tax return and operational reports plus make payments online using Pay.gov. If you haven’t used Pay.gov before, you need to enroll with TTB before you can access the forms. Start the enrollment process soon so everything is ready for you to file online by the deadline.
• If filing your tax returns or operational report by mail, please be sure to use the correct address:

Financial Hardship

If you are unable to pay your taxes, you may be eligible for an installment agreement, an extension of time to pay, or an offer in compromise. To minimize penalties and interest, file all required excise tax returns, even if you cannot pay the full amount due.

Contact TTB if you would like to discuss your financial hardship.
