TTB Bootcamp Part 2: Permits, Operations Reporting and Taxes

Compliance doesn’t stop once your label is approved. Accurate operational reporting and excise tax management are essential to keeping your cidery in good standing and avoiding costly mistakes. In Part 2 of our TTB Bootcamp series, TTB staff will walk through the fundamentals of TTB permit options, operational reports, record keeping requirements, bond considerations, and federal excise tax obligations specific to cider. They’ll break down how production volume, carbonation levels, and alcohol content can impact tax classes, and highlight common reporting errors that can trigger audits or penalties. This session is designed to demystify the paperwork side of running a cidery and provide practical tools to help you stay compliant, organized, and confident in your reporting.
