General Information 
Please review this guide in its entirety.  Some functions and/or debit blocks company ID’s have changed 
due to the transition to the DC web portal.   

Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) is the transfer of funds from your bank account to the DC OTR’s bank 
account.  The National Automated Clearing House Association (NACHA) is the organization that sets the 
standards for transfer of funds between participating financial institutions.  The term “ACH ”refers to 
“automated clearinghouse”.  There are three methods of EFT payments:  

   (1) ACH Debit;

   (2) Credit/Debit Card; and

   (3) ACH Credit.

Payment Reporting 
Contact your financial institution to find out what type of ACH origination services it offers, and the 
associated costs.  These costs will not be paid by the District and are your responsibility. You are 
responsible for initiating the electronic payment with your financial institution so that the funds are 
deposited into the District’s bank account on or before the tax due date. To avoid late payment penalty 
and interest charges, make your ACH payment (any type) on or before the due date.  Contact your 
financial institution to determine their cut-off time. 

International ACH Transaction (IAT) 
NACHA prepared guidelines that are applicable to direct deposit refunds and payments.  Payments are 
credit and debit instructions exchanged across national borders to transfer values between an originator 
(sender-taxpayer) and a receiver (beneficiary  –District Government).  This rule applies to refunds and 
payments that are transmitted to or received from a financial institution outside the territorial 
jurisdiction of the United States (US).  The territorial jurisdiction of the US includes all 50 states, the 
District of Columbia (DC), US territories, US military bases and US embassies in foreign countries.  A 
foreign address is not an indicator of whether the payment or refund is an IAT. 

A payment transaction is: 

 • An instruction of a sender to a bank to pay, or obtain payment of, or to cause another bank to
   pay or obtain payment of, a fixed or determinate amount of money that is to be paid to, or
   obtained from, a receiver; and
 • Any and all settlements, accounting entries or disbursements that is necessary or appropriate to
   carry out the instruction.

For in-bound tax payments (in-bound to the taxpayer) made electronically through either web portal, 
the taxpayer must, to comply with new banking rules, answer the question “Will this payment go to an 

          Version 1.0

account outside the US?”  If the answer is “yes” you will be required to pay by money order (US dollars) 
or credit card.  If your payment is rejected, you may be subject to additional penalties and interest.   

Mandatory Electronic Payments 
Business taxpayers must pay their taxes electronically for any period that the tax due exceeds $5,000.  
This requirement also applies to third party bulk filers who pay the tax for multiple businesses.   

NOTE:  Taxpayers making non-liability payments for tax types that are not available for online filing 
through MyTax.DC.gov can use ACH Credit as their electronic payment method.   MyTax.DC.gov does 
not support filing of these returns but does support payments.  We do not currently offer the ability 
to file a Corporate Franchise Tax (D-20), Unincorporated Business Franchise Tax (D-30), Partnership 
(D-65), or Fiduciary Income (D-41) returns through MyTax.DC.gov. 

Debit Blocks and ACH Company ID 
Some banks require entry of the company name and ID of anyone attempting to debit a corporate 
account.  The debit process has at least a 3-5-day turnaround to process payment from the financial 
institution to OTR.     

MyTax.DC.gov 
Taxpayers can pay: 

• Estimated payments
• Extension payments
• Bill payments
• Return payments
• Payment plans
• Account payments
• Real Property Taxes

A taxpayer does need to be logged in to make payments using MyTax.DC.gov .  The taxpayer will be 
allowed the option to use ACH Debit or Credit/Debit Card.   

Payment Options ACH Debit.  ACH debit is used for taxpayers who have signed up to access  MyTax.DC.gov.  There
  is no fee.  Bank account information is stored within their online account.  MyTax.DC.gov can
  store multiple bank accounts across multiple tax types.   Taxpayers give the right to debit the
  money from their bank account.  Ensure you allow 1-3 business days if entering change of
  banking information.
• Credit/Debit card payments.  There is a fee for credit/debit card usage that is paid directly to
  the third-party provider by the taxpayer.  Duplicate or incorrect payments before 5:30 PM EST
  can be cancelled by the taxpayer.  Kubra (Citibank) allows a limit of $100,000 including the

be split.

ACH Credit Payments 
If you use ACH credit, you initiate payments by transmitting a file in a pre-defined format to your bank.  
This format is defined by NACHA.  The correct format for an ACH credit transfer for a tax payment to DC 
is described in the pages that follow.  Failure to follow the established format will cause delay posting 
the payment to your account in a timely manner.  For sales and use, withholding accounts or DHCF 
accounts, please include both your FEIN/SSN and your OTR assigned 12-digit account number in the 
proper positions of the record format.  Otherwise, posting the payment to your account will be delayed. 

Multiple Records in a Single Cash Concentration or Disbursement (CCD+) File 
To send multiple payments in a single CCD+ file, your bank must be able to transmit a file composed of a 
single file header and company/batch header record, multiple entry detail and addenda records and a 
single company/batch control and file control record.  Please make sure that your bank can transmit this 
type of file before you select the ACH credit payment method for multiple records file. 

ACH Credit Bulk Filing for Withholding Tax 
You may use the ACH credit method to make your payment for your annual, monthly or quarterly 
withholding tax payments; in addition, clients with zero liabilities may make ACH credit transactions for 
zero dollars.  The credit addendum information in this document provides OTR with the details needed 
to create your annual, monthly or quarterly payments.  You must file the return separately when making 
the payment via ACH credit.   

ACH Credit Instructions for Ballpark Fee 
When composing the TXP record for Ballpark Fee ACH credit payments, use May 31 of the current year 
for the tax period ending date.  Example, for 2022 , the tax period end date is 2 0531.2

ACH Credit Filing for Wage Garnishment (State Tax Levy) 
Employers will now be able to submit wage garnishment (state tax levy) in response to tax agency 
orders to garnish employee wages for tax liability.
