Before Using ePay
Check with your bank to see if it requires the Iowa Department of Revenue’s ePay Bank Filter (Company-ID). It is 1421590141. If you have used the Department's EFT system, please note that the new ePay system has a different filter.
When you provide your bank this Bank Filter number, you authorize Iowa Department of Revenue to debit your account. Your bank may reject debits to your account if they are not provided the Department’s Bank Filter in advance.
Enter Your Bank Information
Please note Iowa no longer accepts payment going to/coming from accounts outside the United States.
Enter your bank routing number and your bank account number in the eFile & Pay system. For future payments, the system remembers your bank information. If it changes, you simply enter the new information the next time you schedule a payment.
Payment Date and Time
ePayments must be transmitted by 4 p.m. CT on the due date to be timely.
If you pay electronically, you do not send a payment voucher.
Confirmation of Payment
Online, you will see a payment screen and a confirmation number. Print and keep this information.
If you are using ePay by telephone (business taxes only), you will be given a confirmation number to write down and keep with your records.
Canceling a Payment
You may cancel your payment at any time before 3 p.m. CT on the day the payment is scheduled to be withdrawn.
