TTB Compliance Reporting

Form 5120.17, built from the work you already logged.

The challenge

Compliance should not take a full day of cross-referencing.

Every federally bonded winery files TTB reports, and the data spans the whole operation: bulk gallons, bottled gallons, losses, transfers, and beginning and ending inventory, split by tax class. Pulling that together by hand means re-reading every record you kept all period. One wrong figure means an amended filing. One missed deadline means potential penalties.

How Vinni helps

Built around the way you actually work.

Auto-drafted the day after the period ends

Choose monthly, quarterly, or annual filing. Vinni prepares a draft as soon as each period closes. Drafts are never submitted for you.

Six tax-class columns, assigned automatically

Still wine by ABV band, artificially carbonated, sparkling, and hard cider are worked out from each batch's ABV and product type. Override on any inventory item if you need to.

Reconcile, submit, lock

Enter your physical count per tax class and Vinni writes the gains and losses to the form. Submitting locks the period so live data cannot drift from what you filed. Set it to Amended to correct and refile.

Export for Pay.gov

Every line balances by construction, validation warnings point at figures worth a second look, and a CSV export gives you the numbers to transcribe onto your filing.

Clean, focused, and built for the cellar.

TTB reporting is in active testing. Every report carries a reminder to verify the figures and tax-class assignments against your own records before you file.

How it works

Simple by design.

01

Set your baseline, timezone, and cadence

Record the wine you already hold, split by tax class, one time. Pick your winery timezone so periods cut at your midnight, and choose how often you file.

02

The report builds itself

Fermentation complete books production. Bottling converts bottles to gallons at each lot's size. Sales, returns, transfers, samples, and losses land on the right lines.

03

Review, reconcile, export, submit

Read the warnings, reconcile your physical count, fill the few parts Vinni cannot infer, export the CSV, and mark the report submitted.

TTB Compliance Reporting is one part of a complete platform.
