This form does not provide on-line access to your withholding account information. For on-line access, please see instructions. By signing below, I understand I have requested permission to file withholding tax returns and remit payment electronically via an ACH credit transaction I must initiate through my bank. I have contacted my bank and confirmed the bank can initiate ACH credit transactions that meet the State's requirements. I understand the ACH credit transaction must be in the NACHA standards format using the TXP convention to facilitate the proper posting of the credit. I agree to follow the instructions set forth in the income tax withholding guideline and on the reverse side of this form. I also understand by completing the Payroll Service Information Section, I have designated the Payroll Service to act as my authorized representative in matters related to the filing of my withholding tax returns with the State, including the disclosure of confidential withholding tax information on file with the State. Once I have been approved to file electronically using an ACH Credit, I will not receive a paper return from the State, and will be required to file and pay using the ACH credit method for each tax period. This authorization to participate is in effect until it is terminated by either party.

301-EF Instructions
Employers must have an active income tax withholding account with the Office of State Tax
Commissioner before filing electronically. Go to www.tax.nd.gov/tap and select Apply for Sales
& Use or Withholding to obtain an account or to re-open an account.
Two methods are available to file income tax withholding returns electronically:

Taxpayer Access Point (TAP) - Returns and payments are submitted online. TAP provides access to online features that allow authorized users to view previously filed returns and payments, upload or key W-2 information, change filing methods, and add or delete user's access. To register online go to www.tax.nd.gov/tap and sign up for access.
ACH Credit (Withholding E-File) - An ACH Credit is an electronic transfer of funds where you instruct your bank to transfer payment from your account to the state's bank account. The ACH Credit contains return information and, therefore, also serves as the return. Registration may be completed by submitting this paper form. Registration using this paper form does not provide you access to TAP to view previously filed returns. Tax Payment Banking (TXP) addenda record layout is required for Income Tax Withholding returns and is available at www.tax.nd.gov.

Helpful Hints for the Form

Complete all questions to avoid any delay.
The E-File contact person should be the person who will actually be involved in initiating and making the electronic filing of your return. Be sure to include a phone number.
If you are a Payroll Service completing the application on behalf of a taxpayer, be sure to have the taxpayer sign and date the form at the bottom of Section 3. o Exception: If a properly completed Form 500 Authorization to Disclose Tax Information and Designation of Representative has been submitted by the taxpayer, no signature is required.
