Enroll your business with the IRS. Visit the agency's website to file business/self-employed taxes (See Resources). The service for filing business or self-employment taxes is called the Electronic Federal Tax Payment System (EFTPS) and is a free service provided by the U.S. Treasury Department. To enroll, you will need your federal Employer Identification Number (EIN) or Social Security number (if self-employed), business or corporation name and primary contact information for your business. You may also enroll your business by phoning 800-555-4477. - 2

Payments can be made up to 120 days in advance.
Forms are specific to the business type and are classified under business structure (for example, sub S corporation, sole proprietorship, limited liability company, limited liability partnership) and available via the IRS website. - 3
