EFTPS will require multi-factor Authentication

I used the login.gov option with Google Authentication app and was through it in minutes.  No passports or driver license or cameras needed.

I am also new to this but I have been an EFTPS user for years.  I chose Login.gov to authenticate and all I had to do was provide a method of authentication.  I chose a text to my cell phone and a call to my land line as a a backup.  No photos, etc were required.

I also found a software to download from the EFTPS site - Go to Help & Information at the top of the page and look at Downloads.  Look at Documents for Batch Provider Software User Manual.  Go to Software to actually download the program.  I have not done this yet as the only client I did payroll for I recently fired for not getting me information in a timely manner.

Hope this helps!

The only feasible solution for my firm is to go back to phoning in EFTPS payments for our clients. It works fine, and I've created a pdf template for my employees to type in the information for the call including the confirmation number.

I do not want each of my employees (and/or myself) to create a login using their personal information since we are a corporation. Corporate accounts requiring personal information are a big accounting no-no.

I'm sorry to piggyback on this old post, but I wanted to get a sense of how people are faring with using EFTPS & ID.me.  Several people in the firm already have ID.me accounts, but haven't made the plunge of paying clients payroll tax liabilities through EFTPS anymore due to the MFA fun.  Specifically, how do you best get permission pay your clients taxes on EFTPS now?  Is it best to get them to sign a 8655 Reporting Agent Authorization form?  It's also been suggested to have the client sign an IRS 2848 Power of Attorney form.  Not sure the best way to go about it. Your thoughts are most appreciated!!!
