Dear Taxpayer:

Our office strives to provide complete, easy-to-use information for all electronic funds transfer (EFT) 
customers. This booklet provides an overview of our TEXNET system and explains how to transmit 
payment information.

With this system, you can electronically transfer your payment from your bank account directly to 
the Comptroller’s office. This saves time and ensures your payment is properly applied to your tax 
account.

Taxpayers who paid $500,000 or more for a specific tax are required to transmit payments using the 
TEXNET system.

Taxpayers who paid $10,000 or more are required by law to transmit payments to the Comptroller’s 
office electronically. The taxes affected by this law are Sales and Use, Direct Pay, Natural Gas, Crude 
Oil, Franchise, Gasoline, Diesel Fuel, Hotel Occupancy, Insurance Premium, Mixed Beverage Gross 
Receipts, Mixed Beverage Sales and Motor Vehicle Rental. Sales and Use filers who remit less than 
$500,000 for Sales Tax can make their electronic payments by credit card or electronic check via 
Webfile.

For additional information on electronic payments, visit our website at comptroller.texas.gov/
webfile or please call us at 800-442-3453 or 512-463-3630.

Electronic Reporting

File Early – Pay Later in One Easy Transaction!

Mandatory electronic taxpayers who pay more than $50,000 annually for certain taxes must also file their return/
report electronically.

The Comptroller’s office has developed two free programs you can use to meet the electronic reporting requirement – 
Webfile or Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) . These programs allow you to file your return early and set the ACH Debit 
payment date for the due date . Those making ACH Credit payments can continue using their financial institution software .

Tax filers not required by law to remit payments via EFT may voluntarily file their return/report data electronically using 
either Webfile or EDI . 

Webfile
Webfile is available for sales tax and other taxes . This web-based system enables taxpayers to electronically file a tax return 
and submit an electronic payment (by credit card, electronic check or the TEXNET payment system) . Taxpayers scheduling 
TEXNET payments via Webfile must comply with the TEXNET rules and complete transactions for payments greater than 
$1,000,000 before 8 p .m . (CT) on the bank business day prior to the due date . Payments of $1,000,000 or less must be com-
pleted before 10 a .m . (CT) on the due date . For more information about Webfile, access Comptroller.Texas.Gov . 

Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) for Sales, Direct Pay, Crude Oil, Natural Gas, IFTA and Fuels Taxes
EDI reporting is designed for taxpayers with a large number of outlets or taxing authorities and for tax professionals 
filing multiple returns . Our free EDI software can be downloaded from our website, Comptroller.Texas.Gov, by typing 
“EDI” in the “Find” bar and selecting the Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) link . Then choose the desired tax type to 
download . The software allows you to import data from a spreadsheet or manually enter the data . There is an online 
testing and approval process . Once approved, you can file your return and use the payment feature in EDI to make your 
mandatory EFT payment . Transactions with payments must be completed by 2:30 p .m . (CT) on the bank business day 
before the due date . EDI payments comply with electronic payment requirements .

You may also comply with the electronic reporting requirement by using approved commercial EDI software or writ-
ing your own program . You must contact your vendor to make sure they have been approved . To assist in writing your 
own program, you can download the file layouts from our website at comptroller.texas.gov/programs/systems/
developers/edi-maps/ .

Failure to comply with the mandatory electronic reporting requirement can result in a 5 percent penalty assessment .

WHEN TO ACCESS THE TEXNET SYSTEM – For payments of $1,000,000 or less, a payor has until 10:00 a.m. (CT) on 
the due date to initiate the transaction in the TEXNET System. Payments above $1,000,000 must be initiated in the 
TEXNET System by 8:00 p.m. (CT) the business day before the due date. You will be given a trace number to track your 
payment . Transmission of payment information by this deadline is required to ensure timely posting of your payment . 
Refer to the due date schedule on pages 4-5 . For assistance, call the TEXNET hotline at 800-531-5441, ext . 3-3010 .

In the event your payment information is transmitted to the TEXNET System after the deadline, the payment will 
be posted to your account on the next business day AFTER the due date. This will be considered a late payment and 
could result in the loss of timely filing and/or prepayment discounts or in the assessment of a penalty.

due date . The TEXNET system will store the tax payment request, and your account will be debited on the tax due 
date you indicate .

type of tax you are reporting .

Missed Your TEXNET Payment Deadline?

When ACH Debit transactions cannot be submitted by the deadline (pg . 4-5), you have the following options to ensure a 
timely payment:

•  Webfile – Available for taxpayers not required to pay via TEXNET . This option includes electronic check and credit 
card that can be submitted before 11:59 p .m . (CT) on the due date . To see the list of filing and payment methods 
available by tax type, refer to our website at comptroller.texas.gov/taxes/file-pay/ . 
•  If you miss the 10:00 a .m . (CT) deadline or if your payment is more than $1,000,000, you must use the following 
procedure to ensure timely payment:
•  Wire Transfer – IMPORTANT: This procedure is to be used ONLY in the case of a missed TEXNET payment deadline 
(refer to pg . 4-5) . Failure to comply with TEXNET rules may result in the assessment of a penalty equal to 5 percent 
of the payment amount . You must be enrolled in the TEXNET Electronic Payment Network to be eligible to send a 
wire transfer payment .
1 . Contact the Comptroller’s office to report payment information as early as possible on the payment 
    due date by calling the TEXNET hotline at 800-531-5441, ext . 3-3010 . This call is very important – without it, we 
    will not have the necessary information to apply the payment to your tax account. Check with your bank for wire 
    transfer cutoff time .

2 .  Instruct your financial institution to wire transfer your payment to:  
      Bank name:          Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts  
      Routing #:          114900164  
      Account name:       Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts  
      Account #:          883083001

The Comptroller of Public Accounts is the receiving bank and is located in Austin, Texas . You must include your 11-digit 
Comptroller taxpayer identification number in the wire, as well as the company name, tax type, filing period, con-
tact person and phone number.

                                                                            Electronic Funds Transfer                   15

      Penalty Information

Penalties
Late EFT payments are subject to the same penalties and loss of timely filing and/or prepayment discounts as any other 
late payment . Also, failure to follow the EFT requirements could result in an additional 5 percent penalty assessment .

Note: See pages 4 and 5 for TEXNET payments Due Date Schedule .

      Proof of Payment 

If a payment is received after the due date, and the taxpayer and the financial institution do not think they are  
responsible for the delay, one of the following items must be furnished:
  •  the trace number provided by the TEXNET system when using ACH Debit;
  •  the bank-assigned ACH trace number when using ACH Credit with addenda; or
  •  the Federal Reserve Bank wire transfer reference number when using the missed TEXNET payment deadline  
      procedure .
If the Comptroller’s office determines that the taxpayer did attempt to transfer the payment in a timely manner, payment 
records may be corrected upon receipt of appropriate documentation . Please call the TEXNET hotline at 800-531-5441, 
ext . 3-3010 for assistance .
