Your Data Is Safe With File720Online
IRS-authorized filing, AES-256 encryption, PCI-compliant payments, and 7-year audit retention โ everything you need to trust your excise tax data with us.
IRS-Authorized E-File Provider
File720Online is authorized by the Internal Revenue Service to electronically file Form 720 on behalf of taxpayers. We are listed on the IRS Modernized e-File (MeF) system โ the same secure filing platform used by the largest tax preparation companies in the country.
This is not a third-party workaround or a form submission service. Your return is transmitted directly to the IRS through approved, encrypted channels. When the IRS accepts your return, you receive confirmation within minutes.
You can verify our IRS authorization at any time through the IRS website. We maintain our authorized status by meeting the IRS's ongoing security and compliance requirements.
Bank-Level AES-256 Encryption
Every piece of data you enter โ your EIN, business name, excise tax amounts, and payment details โ is protected with AES-256 encryption, the same standard used by major financial institutions and the U.S. government.
Data is encrypted both in transit (via TLS 1.3) and at rest. This means your information is protected whether it is being transmitted to our servers, stored in our database, or being forwarded to the IRS.
We do not store your payment card numbers. All payment processing is handled by Stripe, a PCI Level 1 certified payment processor, ensuring your financial data never touches our servers.
Secure Cloud Infrastructure
File720Online runs on enterprise-grade cloud infrastructure with automated backups, redundant storage, and 99.9% uptime. Your filing data is never stored on a single server โ it is distributed across multiple availability zones.
Our infrastructure includes intrusion detection systems, automated vulnerability scanning, and regular third-party security audits. We apply security patches immediately and maintain a strict update policy.
All access to production systems requires multi-factor authentication and is logged for audit purposes. We follow the principle of least privilege โ staff only access the data needed to perform their specific role.
7-Year IRS Audit Retention
The IRS recommends retaining tax records for at least 3 years, and up to 7 years in certain circumstances. File720Online retains your Form 720 filings for 7 years so you always have access to your records if the IRS inquires.
You can download a PDF copy of your filed return at any time from your account dashboard. Your filing history, confirmation numbers, and payment records are all stored and accessible.
If you are ever selected for an IRS audit, your complete filing record is available immediately โ no need to reconstruct records from scratch.
Strict Privacy Controls
We do not sell your data. Your business information, EIN, and tax data are used solely to prepare and transmit your Form 720 to the IRS. We do not share, rent, or sell this information to third parties for marketing or any other purpose.
Our privacy policy is written in plain language and describes exactly what data we collect, how we use it, and how long we retain it. We comply with applicable federal privacy regulations.
You can request deletion of your account data at any time by contacting our support team. We will confirm deletion within 30 days, subject to any legal retention requirements.
PCI-Compliant Payment Processing
All credit card and ACH payments are processed by Stripe, which maintains PCI Service Provider Level 1 compliance โ the highest level of payment security certification available.
When you pay your service fee on File720Online, your card number is tokenized immediately and never stored on our servers. Stripe's fraud detection systems monitor transactions in real time.
For IRS tax payments (EFTPS), you are directed to the IRS's own payment portal. We do not handle IRS tax payments directly โ this ensures your tax dollars go straight to the IRS with no intermediary.
Account Security Features
Your File720Online account is protected by Firebase Authentication, which supports secure email/password login with built-in brute-force protection. We recommend using a strong, unique password.
All sessions are secured with short-lived JWT tokens. Idle sessions are automatically terminated after a period of inactivity to prevent unauthorized access on shared devices.
If you notice any unauthorized access to your account, contact our support team immediately. We can lock your account, revoke active sessions, and assist with recovery.
IRS Filing Compliance
Every Form 720 transmitted through File720Online is validated against IRS business rules before submission. Our system checks for common errors โ missing schedules, incorrect tax calculations, invalid EINs โ and alerts you before the return is filed.
When the IRS accepts your return, you receive an IRS acceptance confirmation with a unique submission reference number. This is your proof of filing, equivalent to a certified mail receipt.
We keep up with IRS form revisions, rate changes, and regulatory updates so your filing always uses the current version of Form 720 and the correct excise tax rates.
