This is where i send off my Form 1 to correct?

Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives
National Firearms Act Branch
244 Needy Road
Martinsburg, West Virginia 25405


And i make out the check to....
Bureau of ATF

Or should i spell it out like this..
Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms?

Thanks for the help, hoping to send off my first form1 off today!!


Edit:
By the way how does everyone send payment if you don't actually use checks?
Can you send a bank check? or would money order be more preferred?
Just want to be able to track it and see when it was cashed.
Thanks again.

I don't know if it really matters how you right it out as long as it's obvious who it is to.

If you pay by personal check they electronically cash it. I always pay by personal check so I get an obvious "check cashed" date. Unless you pay by some method that pings an account you have control over I don't think there is any way to know when the payment was processed.

Can someone tell me why on the Form 4 they say to make payment out to he BATFE but on a Form 1 they say make payment out to the DOJ?

When all else fails....read the directions on the form:

1) "(Submit in duplicate. See Instructions attached.)To: National Firearms Act Branch, Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, 244 Needy Road, Suite 1250, Martinsburg, WV 25405"

2) "Tax Paid. Submit with your application a check or money order for $200 made payable to the Department of the Justice. Upon approval of the application, this office will acquire, affix, and cancel the required “National Firearms Act: stamp for you."

Just send a bank check or money order.  But it will be difficult to track.  Easiest thing might be to have a friend or family member write a check, so you can see when it clears.
