Introduction

When HOST files sales tax returns on behalf of your business, we forward your bank account information to the states at the time of filing. The states then initiate ACH debits directly from your bank account. If a state cannot debit the funds due at filing time, you may miss a payment and incur penalties and interest. It's important to ensure your bank account is configured to accept debits from the states.

Steps

1. Contact your bank to ensure debit blocking or anti-fraud services won't interfere with ACH debiting.
2. Provide state ACH originator IDs (from the table below) to your bank, adding them to the approved list of ACH debitors for your account.
3. HOST strongly recommends avoiding any service that requires state bank debits to be manually approved or released, as this often results in failed or late tax payments. </aside>

State ACH originator IDs may change without notice. Some states do not publish them. HOST encourages you to contact states directly for the most current IDs before providing them to your bank.
