What Is IRS Form 720?

IRS Form 720 is the Quarterly Federal Excise Tax Return used to report and pay federal excise taxes. Businesses that manufacture, sell, or use specific goods and services — including fuel, airline tickets, indoor tanning, medical devices, and PCORI fees — file Form 720 with the IRS each quarter.

Businesses paying PCORI fees on self-insured health plans
Indoor tanning service providers
Fuel producers, importers, and blenders
Communications and air transportation providers
Businesses liable for environmental excise taxes

Deadline: Form 720 is due the last day of the month after each quarter ends: April 30, July 31, October 31, and January 31.

What Is IRS Form 8849?

IRS Form 8849 is the Claim for Refund of Excise Taxes. If your business paid federal excise tax it no longer owes — nontaxable fuel uses, exported fuels, or other overpaid excise taxes — Form 8849 and its schedules are how you get that money back from the IRS.

Nontaxable uses of gasoline, diesel, and kerosene (Schedule 1)
Registered ultimate vendor claims (Schedule 2)
Section 4081(e) refunds of double-taxed fuel (Schedule 5)
Other one-time claims, including heavy vehicle use tax refunds (Schedule 6)
Registered credit card issuer claims (Schedule 8)

Deadline: Most Form 8849 claims must be filed within 3 years of the tax payment; fuel claims have quarterly and annual timing rules per schedule.

What Is IRS Form 1041?

IRS Form 1041 is the U.S. Income Tax Return for Estates and Trusts. Executors, trustees, and other fiduciaries use it to report the income, deductions, and distributions of a decedent’s estate or a trust — with a Schedule K-1 issued to every beneficiary who receives distributions.

Estates with annual gross income of $600 or more
Trusts with any taxable income, or $600+ of gross income
Simple and complex trusts, grantor-type trusts, and ESBTs
Beneficiary Schedule K-1s prepared as part of the return
Capital gains, business income, and distribution deductions handled in one guided flow

Deadline: Calendar-year estates and trusts file Form 1041 by April 15; fiscal-year estates file by the 15th day of the 4th month after year end.

What Is IRS Form 7004?

IRS Form 7004 is the Application for Automatic Extension of Time to File certain business income tax and information returns. Filing it by your return’s due date gives most businesses an automatic extension — no explanation required.

Extends corporate returns (Form 1120 family) and S-corporation returns
Extends partnership returns (Form 1065)
Extends estate and trust income tax returns (Form 1041)
Automatic — the IRS does not require a reason
An extension of time to FILE is not an extension of time to PAY

Deadline: File Form 7004 on or before the original due date of the return you are extending.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I file Form 720 online?

Yes. Our IRS-authorized platform lets you complete, validate, and e-file your quarterly federal excise tax return entirely online, with confirmation in minutes.

What happens if I file Form 720 late?

The IRS may assess failure-to-file and failure-to-pay penalties plus interest. Filing electronically before the quarterly deadline is the simplest way to stay compliant.

How long does an excise tax refund take?

The IRS typically processes Form 8849 claims within 45 days; many fuel claims are paid with interest if the IRS takes longer. Refunds are issued directly by the IRS.

Does it cost a percentage of my refund?

No. Our fee is a flat charge per claim — you keep 100% of the refund the IRS approves.

Do I need a CPA to file Form 1041?

Not necessarily. Our guided flow walks fiduciaries through income, deductions, and distributions step by step, prepares the beneficiary K-1s, and e-files the return — at a flat fee well below typical CPA engagements.

Are beneficiary K-1s included?

Yes. Schedule K-1s for every beneficiary are generated as part of the return at no extra cost.

Is the Form 7004 extension really automatic?

Yes — if it is filed on time with the correct return code, the extension is automatic and the IRS only contacts you if the request is disallowed.

Does Form 7004 extend my time to pay?

No. It extends the time to file the return. Any tax owed is still due by the original deadline, and you can include a payment when e-filing.
