Quick FAQ in PCORI Fee from IRS

Reporting and Paying the Fee

File the second quarter Form 720 annually to report and pay the fee no later than July 31 of the calendar year immediately following the last day of the policy year or plan year to which the fee applies. Issuers and plan sponsors who are required to pay the fee but are not required to report any other liabilities on a Form 720 will be required to file a Form 720 only once a year. They will not be required to file a Form 720 for the first, third or fourth quarters of the year. Deposits are not required for this fee, so issuers and plans sponsors are not required to pay the fee using EFTPS.

The payment can be paid through the Electronic Federal Tax Payment System too. TaxExcise.com is an IRS authorized eFile service provider and help you to complete this PCORI Fee electronically. Talk to us today at (866) 245 – 3918 or write to us at support@taxexcise.com.
