- The parcel number you attempted to ePay;
- The amount you paid;
- The ePay "Confirmation Number" that you received;
- The date you performed the transaction;
- Your name and daytime telephone number.

Providing our office with wrong bank information or account information is the same as providing this office with a check that was written on a closed bank account. Even if the taxpayer's error occurred in good faith, the electronic payment information was not received correctly on or before the due date.
