Payments by Wire Transfer
Payments made by ACH or other electronic means are preferred over wire transfers, as the cost for such transactions is minimal for either party. However, businesses (and in rare situations individuals) may be permitted to wire funds to the department if they first submit a Wire Transfer Request form*. This form can be found below. If the request is approved, we will respond with the appropriate wire transfer instructions.
This form will need to be submitted prior to each wire transfer payment in order to ensure payments are applied accurately. Each wire transfer request will expire one week from the Date Transfer Expected entered on the form. Once a request has expired, a new request will need to be submitted and approved prior to sending your wire transfer payment.
IMPORTANT: The account number used for wiring funds is NOT the same as the account number used for ACH transactions, and attempting to wire funds to the ACH account number will result in the wire being returned for invalid beneficiary account number.
Please note: Your financial institution may assess a fee for your wire transfer payment, which may reduce the dollar amount that the Oregon Department of Revenue receives. Please confirm with your financial institution the amount of any fees to be assessed, and account for them when sending your payment.
For example, if you wish to apply a payment of $1,000 to your account, and your bank charges a $20 fee, you may need to enter $1,020 into your bank's wire transfer amount box. Please confirm whether any fees are deducted from the wire payment itself or charged separately.
