Urgent - Mandatory EFTPS Enrollment for U.S. Tax paying UN Staff – Action Required by September 30, 2025

This is a high-priority notice for U.S. Tax paying staff members of the United Nations.

Effective October 1, 2025, the IRS will no longer accept or issue paper checks. To ensure continued processing of your estimated and final tax payments, you must enroll in the Electronic Federal Tax Payment System (EFTPS) by September 30, 2025.

Failure to enroll will prevent the UN from submitting tax payments on your behalf, resulting in delays or inability to reimburse you. In such cases, you will be responsible for making payments directly to the IRS and will only be reimbursed upon submission of proof at the time of final settlement.

Immediate Action Required:

• Enroll at https://www.eftps.gov
• Ensure your account is activated before the deadline
• Once you receive your confirmation letter, please redact the PIN and send a scanned copy to us for registration

This requirement is non-negotiable. Non-compliance will affect your tax-related reimbursements.

If you are uncertain whether your EFTPS account is active, you can verify its status by initiating a small test payment (e.g., $1) through your online EFTPS account. Successful processing of the transaction will confirm that your account is active and functioning properly.
