than $2,500 and you’re paying in full with a timely filed
return, or
• You’re a monthly schedule depositor making a payment
in accordance with the Accuracy of Deposits Rule. See
section 11 of Pub. 15 for details. In this case, the amount
of your payment may be $2,500 or more.
Otherwise, you must make deposits by electronic funds
transfer. See section 11 of Pub. 15 for deposit
instructions. Don’t use Form 945-V to make federal tax
deposits.
