What Is Federal Excise Tax and Who Needs to File Form 720?
Filing Form 720 is a tax imposed by the U.S. government on specific goods, services, and activities such as fuel, air transportation, environmental products and indoor tanning services. Businesses that manufacture, sell, or are responsible for collecting these taxes must report them to the IRS using Form 720, the Quarterly Federal Excise Tax Return. Companies with excise tax liability are required to file Form 720 each quarter to report and pay these taxes. Using our online filing platform can make the process faster, more accurate, and easier for businesses to stay compliant with IRS excise tax regulations.

When Should Illinois Businesses Start Preparing for Form 720 Filing?
Most Illinois businesses make the mistake of preparing IRS Form 720 too late, even though it requires detailed transaction-level data and careful reconciliation. The key idea is simple: start early?ideally as soon as excise activity begins?and maintain a consistent monthly or weekly workflow rather than scrambling at quarter-end. This is especially important for areas like PCORI, which follows its own annual cycle and requires coordination across departments. Early preparation helps avoid costly IRS penalties, ensures accurate reporting, and makes filing predictable. By building structured reports, reconciling liabilities in advance, and tracking changes in business activities, companies can turn Form 720 compliance from a stressful task into a routine process.
