  1. Get Approval for EFTPS Enrollment

The first time Abound® submits a tax payment for each of your users, you will need to receive approval for Abound® to enroll that User with EFTPS. The enrollment process is managed by Abound®. You simply need to display the authorization process described in the Representative Approval for EFTPS Enrollment guide.

📘

Production Authorization

Contact Abound® support to receive approval of your authorization to enable your production environment.

  1. Create a Payment Method

Before creating a payment method, you must create a User. The user is the individual for whom you will be submitting the payment request. To create a User, you can follow the Getting Started guide.

❗

️ KYC verification required

When creating a paymentMethod in Abound®, you are certifying that you have verified the owner of the payment account by adhering to federal KYC requirements.

A Payment Method represents the bank account from which the tax payment will be charged. For a taxPayment to the IRS, a Payment Method may be any checking or savings account that has a routing and account number that supports ACH.

Below is an example of how to create a Payment Method that is associated with the user you created in the previous step.
