Executive Order 14247 mandates the transition to electronic payments for all federal receipts and disbursements, including those to and from TTB.
We will stop issuing paper checks for disbursements, including tax refunds and drawback, on September 30, 2025.
Additionally, as soon as practicable, we will begin processing electronically all payments made to TTB.
How does this impact my tax refunds?
Unless you qualify for an exception specified in section 4 of the order, failure to provide your banking information in connection with a claim will delay your refund.
For tax refund and drawback claims, you need to include your banking information so that your claim can be processed, and your refund can be disbursed electronically.
For the below claim types, updated claim forms will include sections for you to provide your banking information:
- TTB F 5620.8 – Claim Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms Taxes
- TTB F 5110.30 – Drawback on Distilled Spirits Exported
- TTB F 5120.24 – Drawback on Wine Exported
- TTB F 5130.6 – Drawback on Beer Exported
- TTB F 5620.7 – Claim for Drawback of Tax on Tobacco Products, Cigarette Papers, and Cigarette Tubes
For CBMA importer refund claims, you need to include your banking information in myTTB. An entity manager, or other user authorized to access the myTTB Banking service for your entity, can add banking information in myTTB by logging in and navigating to the Entity Access/Entity Management screens from the myTTB dashboard.
If you are ready to get started now, see our detailed instructions for adding an initial bank account, deleting an existing bank account, and editing a bank account nickname.
How does this impact my tax payments?
If you currently pay excise taxes with a paper check or money order, we encourage you to begin transitioning to electronic payments through Pay.gov or other electronic funds transfer as soon as possible.
