Excise Tax Calendar
This calendar gives the due dates for filing returns and making deposits of excise taxes. Use this calendar with Publication 510, which covers the
deposit rules and the types of excise taxes reported on Forms 11-C, 720, and 730.
Forms you may need.
The following is a list and description of the excise tax forms you may need.
- Form 11-C, Occupational Tax and Registration Return for Wagering. Use this form to register any wagering activity and to
pay a tax (called an occupational tax) on wagering. File Form 11-C if you are in the business of accepting wagers, including conducting a
wagering pool or lottery, or are an agent of someone who accepts wagers. You must file the form before you begin accepting wagers. After that, file
the form by July 1 of each year. Also, see Form 730, later.
- Form 720, Quarterly Federal Excise Tax Return. File this form by the last day of the month following the calendar quarter. Use
this form to report a wide variety of excise taxes, including the following.
- Communications and air transportation taxes.
- Fuel taxes.
- Retail tax.
- Ship passenger tax.
- Luxury tax.
- Manufacturers taxes.
- Form 730, Monthly Tax Return for Wagers. Use this form to pay an excise tax on wagers you accept. File this form for each month
by the last day of the following month. Also see Form 11-C, earlier.
- Form 2290, Heavy Highway Vehicle Use Tax Return. Use this form to pay the federal use tax on heavy highway vehicles registered in
your name. File this form by the last day of the month following the month of the vehicle's first taxable use in the tax period. The tax period begins
on July 1 and ends the following June 30. You must pay the full year's tax on all vehicles you have in use during the month of July. You must also pay
a partial-year tax on taxable vehicles that you put into use in a month after July. For more information, including information on installment
payments, see the instructions for Form 2290.
Fiscal-year taxpayers.
The dates in this calendar apply whether you use a fiscal year or the calendar year as your tax year.
Adjustments for Saturday, Sunday, or legal holidays.
Generally, if a due date falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday, it is delayed until the next business day. For excise taxes, there are two
exceptions to this rule.
- For deposits of regular method taxes, if the due date is a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday, the due date is the immediately
preceding business day.
- Under the special September deposit rules, if the due date falls on a Saturday, the deposit is due on the preceding Friday. If the due date
falls on a Sunday, the deposit is due on the following Monday.
The excise tax calendar has been adjusted for all these provisions.

record telephone calls. Another is to ask some callers to complete a short survey at the end of the call.
