Sales tax e-file mandate for monthly sales tax filers

Beginning with the returns due on April 20, 2010, you must use Sales Tax Web File to file monthly sales and use tax returns and electronically pay any balance due.

This mandate affects you if you file Form ST-809, New York State and Local Sales and Use Tax Return for Part-Quarterly (Monthly) Filers, and your business meets these three conditions:

you don't use a tax preparer to prepare the required filings;
you use a computer to prepare, document or calculate your tax forms;
and you have broadband Internet access.

To get started, you'll need to:

Create an Online Services account, if you don't already have one. View our demos to learn how to create your account and use Sales Tax Web File.

If you already have an Online Services account, login and select 'Sales Tax Web File'.

If you use a form or schedule that isn't currently available for e-filing your Form ST-810, you still must Web File your Form ST-809.

If your business isn't required to Web File, continue to paper Form ST-809 Sales and Use Tax Part-Quarterly Return, but first learn how to avoid common sales tax filing errors.
