In the CFPVEFT / NACTP / EFIN area, enter your Social Security Number, bank routing number (9-digit ABA number), and account type (Checking or Savings). For joint returns, add the spouse's first name and initial in the corresponding field. The Mail To section shows the Benton Harbor remittance address.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Cf 1040Pv Form used for?
This is the City of Benton Harbor's official EFT payment voucher for 2020 city income tax. It authorizes the city to withdraw the amount you owe directly from your bank account by April 30, 2021, alongside your 2020 income tax return.
Who needs to file this payment voucher?
You need to submit this voucher if you owe Benton Harbor city income tax for 2020 and are paying by electronic funds transfer. If you are paying by check or money order, a different payment method applies. Contact the Benton Harbor Income Tax Department if you are unsure which payment option is right for your situation.
Can I use a savings account to pay?
Yes. The voucher accepts both checking and savings accounts. Enter your account type in the Type of Account field, then provide the correct 9-digit ABA routing number and full account number for your chosen account.
What happens if I miss the April 30 deadline?
Missing the April 30, 2021 deadline may result in interest and penalty charges added to your original tax balance. Contact the City of Benton Harbor Income Tax Department as soon as possible to discuss options, which may include a payment plan or a penalty waiver for documented hardship cases.
Is this the same as the federal Form 1040-V?
No. The Cf 1040Pv Form is a municipal form specific to Benton Harbor, not a federal IRS form. For federal income tax payment vouchers, see the Form 1040-ES Payment Voucher or the IRS 1040-ES for estimated tax payments.
Where can I find other city tax and EFT forms?
FormsPal offers a full library of city income tax and payment forms. For a general bank transfer authorization, see the Electronic Funds Transfer Form. For other municipal income tax forms, browse the City of Massillon Income Tax Form or the IT-101V Payment Voucher.
What if the due date falls on a weekend or holiday?
If April 30, 2021 falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or recognized public holiday, the payment deadline extends automatically to the next business day. No additional action is required to qualify for this extension. The City of Benton Harbor honors the extension as standard practice for all EFT payment vouchers.
