BB&T offers Tax Choice, an automated method for paying your company's state and federal payroll taxes. The U.S. Department of the Treasury's Financial Management System and the IRS have developed an automated tax payment process called the Electronic Federal Tax Payment System (EFTPS). The Federal Government has already mandated enrollment in EFTPS for many businesses. To enroll, a business must choose either an ACH Credit or ACH Debit option.
 
ACH Credit Option ACH Debit Option
  • If the ACH Credit Option is chosen, that option is communicated to the FMS/IRS and the Taxpayer enrolls in BB&T's Tax Choice program
  • Payment amounts can be reported using a telephone or online
  • The Taxpayer initiates an ACH transaction to credit the Federal Government the appropriate tax amount
  • This transaction is initiated at least one day before the payment is due and is debited from the Taxpayer's account on the day the request is initiated
  • The Taxpayer reports the tax amount to FMS the day before the tax payment is scheduled
  • The payment amount can be reported using a telephone, online, or by a mainframe computer
  • The Federal Government agent bank then debits the Taxpayer's account via the ACH for the amount reported
  • Should you elect this method, no interaction with BB&T is required

With the ACH Credit option and BB&T's Tax Choice program, you maintain maximum control over your accounts. Tax Choice reduces risk by ensuring compliance with EFTPS and state EFT regulations. BB&T Tax Choice provides complete security while allowing you to pay taxes online or over the telephone.
