File Your Federal Excise Taxes the Easy Way

Simple, accurate, IRS-compliant Form 720 filing

1

What Is IRS Form 720 & Who Must File?

IRS Form 720, the Quarterly Federal Excise Tax Return, is filed with the IRS by companies to report quarterly tax payments on specific products and services. These aren't taxes on income, but rather federal excise obligations tied to specific activities governed through the IRS.

Businesses must file Form 720 if they manufacture, sell, import, or use taxable products such as:

  • Fuel and diesel
  • Ozone-depleting chemicals
  • Aviation services
  • Tires and heavy vehicles
  • Communications and telephone services
  • Environmental and chemical products

If your business is liable for any excise category, the IRS requires quarterly filing—even if you only had activity for a single tax period.

Why Correct Form 720 Filing Matters

  • Maintain clean business tax records
  • Avoid unnecessary IRS notices and audits
  • Ensure proper credit and refund claims
  • Stay fully compliant with federal excise tax rules

Filing correctly every quarter helps protect your business and ensures smooth tax operations year-round.
