Credit Card Information doesn't appear on ATF eForm 1 or ATF eForm 4

When applying for an ATF eForm 1 or ATF eForm 4, you will be required to pay the $200 tax stamp online with a credit card.  But it is normal and correct for box 20 Method of Payment (ATF eForm 1) and box 23 Method of Payment (ATF eForm 4) to be blank on the submitted tax stamp application after paying the tax stamp with the ATF.  You will be getting a seperate email from Pay.gov, which is the entity that processes the $200 tax stamp applications.
