Learn how Sovos uses ACH debit to file your returns.

About one week before tax returns are due, Sovos sends you an email with the subject line Debit Notification. This email includes:

• An ACH debit request

• The date of the ACH debit request

• The tax amount due in each taxing jurisdiction

  Note:

  The total amount due for all taxing jurisdictions will match the amount you approved in the Tax Filed Report.

At this point, the tax amounts can't be changed. If you need to modify the amounts remitted, you must amend the return.

Five days before the return is due, Sovos withdraws the amounts stated in the debit notification from your account through ACH debit. Sovos is able to do this because you gave your permission by signing the Client Account Agreement. This agreement includes all the banking information necessary for ACH debit. When the amounts appear in Sovos' bank account, Sovos sends it to the taxing authorities.

If the funds requested in the debit notification are not available in your bank account at the time of the ACH debit request, Sovos will contact you so that you can wire the necessary amount. The wire instructions are also included in the Client Account Agreement.
