There are two ways by which you can file your return: E- Filing is Electronically submitting Federal Excise Tax Returns to the IRS through online. Paper Filing is sending the Federal Excise Tax Returns to the IRS through the mail.
If you import a gas guzzling automobile, you may be eligible to make a one-time filing of Form 720 and Form 6197
if you meet both of the following conditions:
1.You do not import gas-guzzling automobiles in the course of your trade or business.
2.You are not required to file Form 720 reporting excise taxes for the calendar quarter, except for a one-time filing.
Example:
In August 2006, H, an individual, imports a car. The car has a fuel economy rating of 15 mpg,
so H is liable for the gas guzzler tax of $4,500 (Form 6197, line 9). H meets the two conditions
for a one-time filing, that is, (1) does not import gas guzzling automobiles in the course of his
trade or business, and (2) is not otherwise required to file Form 720. He must file Forms 720 and
6197 for the third calendar quarter of 2006. H does not have to deposit the gas guzzler tax of $4,500
but instead pays with the return. H checks the one-time filing box on Form 720.
