Form 720 – Quarterly Federal Excise Taxes

The federal government imposes excise taxes on certain products and services like gasoline and aviation fuels and specific services like indoor tanning services and PCORI. The owners, dealers, and consumers of those products/services are liable to pay their federal excise taxes every quarter of the tax year using form 720 to the IRS.

Every federal excise taxpayer must understand the parts and sections of form 720 to file it without errors.
