With the year-end maintenance period complete, the IRS is now fully back online and accepting excise tax filings. At TaxExcise.com, we want to remind taxpayers that returns submitted are now being processed within minutes—making this the right time to complete any pending filings without delay.

For taxpayers required to file Form 720 for the 4th quarter of 2025, the deadline falls on February 2, 2026, as the usual December 31 deadline lands on a weekend this year. Filing on or before this observed deadline is essential to avoid penalties, interest, or compliance issues.

Now that IRS systems are operational, waiting is no longer necessary. Filing early allows you to receive acknowledgments promptly and ensures your excise tax obligations are properly recorded. Whether you are reporting fuel taxes or other applicable excise liabilities, timely filing helps keep your records clean and organized.

TaxExcise.com makes the Form 720 filing process straightforward and secure. With IRS processing restored and the observed deadline approaching, this is the ideal moment to file and move forward confidently into the new year.
