An ACH Debit transaction is the converse of the ACH Credit. The ACH Debit method allows you to transfer funds by giving the Treasury permission to electronically debit a bank account you control for the amount of your tax deposit. The ACH Debit transaction is then initiated and posts against the taxpayer's bank account on the date specified by the taxpayer. The government typically pays the cost of the ACH debit transaction. The taxpayer is responsible for any fee their financial institution may charge for the actual transfer of funds.

For ACH debits, the taxpayer is responsible for:

• reporting the tax payment at least 1 calendar day prior to tax due date.
• making sure they receive an EFT Acknowledgement Number from EFTPS and keeping a record of it.
• making sure sufficient funds are in their account to cover the tax payment.
