Step 2: Select the account for filing
Once you've logged in, you will be directed to your homepage. From there, click on the account for which you want to file a sales tax return.
Step 3: Choose the filing period
After selecting the appropriate account, click on "File Return" for the specific period you wish to file.
This will initiate the process of entering your sales data and submitting your return.
Step 4: Enter sales data
On the next screen, enter your total gross sales and non-taxable sales for the filing period. If you need to enter a local option tax, click on the link titled "Click here to add Local Option Taxes."
This will allow you to input the necessary information for any applicable local taxes. Once you have finished entering your sales data, click "Next" to proceed to the review stage.
Step 5: Add attachment filings
If you have any attachments that need to be included with your return, you can add them at this point in the process. This may include supporting documentation or additional forms required by the state.
Step 6: Make a payment
After reviewing your return, it's time to make a payment.
Enter your banking information, select the payment date, and specify the amount you wish to pay. If you prefer to mail in your payment, you can print a voucher by checking the box at the bottom of the screen.
Finally, review all the information you've entered, provide your name and telephone number, and submit your return. Upon successful submission, you will receive a confirmation number, which we recommend saving for your records. It's also a good practice to save a copy of your return for future reference.
