Before you enroll, EFTPS online will display and ask you to accept The Privacy Act of 1974. This act basically requires that when EFTPS asks you for information about yourself, we let you know why the information is necessary and what will happen if all of the information is not received.

EFTPS has a legal right to ask for enrollment information according to 5 U.S.C. 301 and the Internal Revenue Code Sections 6001, 6011, 6012 and applicable regulations.

This information will not be shared with anyone, however EFTPS may give the information to the Department of Justice and to other federal agencies, as provided by law. EFTPS may also give it to cities, states, the District of Columbia and U. S. commonwealths or possessions to carry out their tax laws, and EFTPS may give it to foreign governments because of tax treaties they have with the United States.

Reading and accepting this Privacy Act information is a required part of your EFTPS Enrollment process.
