Note: If your client pays with Web Pay, do not mail in the voucher.
When logging in, the entity type and entity ID must match our recorders in order to use Web Pay. Do not enter dashes and the length of your number should be:
| Corporation | LLC | Partnership |
|---|---|---|
| 7 digit number | 9 or 12 digit number | 9 digit number, FEIN |
Note: On collection bills, 3 zeros (000) are added to the end of your entity ID. Do not add those in Web Pay.
Period beginning and ending dates
For calendar year filers: enter the first day of the taxable year.
For fiscal year filers: enter the beginning month, day and year of your taxable year.
Example: If you just started your business on July 1:
| Calendar Year*** | Fiscal Year | |
|---|---|---|
| Starting period | July 1, 2020 | July 1, 2020 |
| Ending period | December 1, 2020 | June 30, 2021 |
*** For calendar year filers, you will file a partial year return and a full year return the following year.
Quarterly estimated tax payments
Fo calendar year filers, quarterly estimated payments are due:
- April 15
- June 15
- September 15
- December 15
When we start talking about fiscal year versus calendar years, it gets tricky. Go to our publication, Common Forms of Ownership. The publication offers an estimated tax section for each of the different forms of ownership as well as Appendix 3: Quick Reference Chart to get more detailed information.
For this year, the first and second quarterly estimated tax payment due dates have been extended. Visit our COVID-19 webpage for more information.
Double-check
Lastly, always double-check your bank account number and routing number. Web Pay gives you an opportunity to review the request before submitting. We also recommend that your client enters their email address so they will receive an email confirmation that their payment request was received.
