So let's say you filed a Form 4 for a can.  You paid the $200 with a check.

5 months later you get your F4 back approved.  BUT, ATF never cashed your tax check.

You have an approved, stamped (real stamp as it's a paper form) transfer, but haven't really paid the tax.

What's your legal position?  Could it come back and bite you in the ass?

Are you absolutely sure they didn't ACH it or EFT w.e. they call it these days?

All of my F4's for a while now dont show up as the check number, just "ATF NFA Payment"

Look for an ACH Debit.

Well I'll be darned.  You'd think the ACH would at least reference the check number;  all the other outfits that ACH my checks include that.

And to think, um, SOMONE was thinking they might have gotten a freebie.

ACH doesn't use the check # - it's just like using a debit card, where your checking account and routing #s are used instead of a card #

I actually have an old checking account i have had since i was 16 that i use almost exclusively for NFA stuff.  Funny that I'm writing checks out of my first order of them when i opened the account all those years ago.  

I just transfer money over to it a day or two before sending off the paperwork.

The ONE thing the ATF hasnt be laggy about and that is cashing checks quickly.

How true - I had 3 F4's delivered on the 23rd, and the cashiers checks were cashed on the 24th - getting their money is job 1!!!  

Happy Monday,
