How to Make an EFT Payment

There are two automated clearing house (ACH) methods that can be used to transfer money to the Colorado Department of Revenue (CDOR): 

  1. ACH Credit is when you contact your bank to initiate the process of sending funds to CDOR.
  2. ACH Debit is when you give CDOR permission to pull funds from your bank account according to the directions you provide after clicking the “Make a Payment” link below.

ACH Credit

To make an ACH credit payment, you must first contact your bank or financial institution to ensure they are able to create a TXP record, which is a national banking standard. If your payment does not contain a TXP record or is incorrect, it will be returned to you as unprocessed. You will then advise your bank of the necessary details about your payment.

Some businesses and individuals have an ACH Block on their bank accounts that use an authorization list to help prevent fraud on their account. If you have an ACH Block on your ACH credit transactions, be sure to provide your bank this blocker ID: D846000537. 

In order to ensure that your payments are processed promptly, be sure to register for ACH credit before following these steps:

  1. Click the button below. 
  2. Then enter your EFT ID number. 
  3. Select the appropriate tax type code, filing period ending date, dollar amount owed and effective date. 
  4. You must  submit your tax payment before 4:00 P.M. Mountain Time for same-day processing. The payment website is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
