Once you have registered for WebFile, you will no longer receive paper returns from our office. Instead, you file your return on-line, up until midnight of the due date to meet the filing deadline. In addition, WebFile offers you the ability to print a copy of the return for your own records or view your previously filed returns online.

Withholding E-File. The employer instructs its bank to make an ACH Credit payment to the State of North Dakota. The ACH Credit is also the return. Registration may be completed on-line or by submitting a paper application.
