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 on a quarterly basis of the tax year using the form 720 to the IRS. As form 720 contains many products and services, the IRS classified form 720 into two parts: part I and part II. So, the taxpayers must identify the part in which their product or service belongs and file their excise taxes accordingly. Every federal excise taxpayer must understand the parts and sections of form 720 to file it without errors.
