New EFTPS client payment login requirement - use Batch Provider Software instead?
Greetings,
You may have discovered by now that the EFTPS login process has changed (as of October 19. 2023). It now requires multi-factor authentication using ID.me or login.gov. (previously discussed here If you use EFTPS to pay your clients' taxes you would have to have your client sign up for either of these (where applicable) and I know ID.me is not so simple to sign up with. So the fallback option is using the EFTPS old-fashioned automatic phone payment system - not very efficient. I was about to give up all hope when I found out there is a software that can be downloaded from the EFTPS website called Batch Provider Software - where you can allegedly pay for many many clients at once? Has anyone used this? Recommend or no? What is the process to sign up for it? Why isn't this software publicized? Please let us know if there is any hope! Thank you 🙂
