If you cannot file electronically, call the Department at 800-352-3671 to see if you qualify for a waiver.

Even if you qualify for a waiver from filing electronically, you must still pay your tax electronically.

Electronic Payments

You can pay your taxes electronically without enrolling. However, enrollment provides you some

additional conveniences. When you enroll, our system saves your banking and contact information so

you don’t have to enter it every time you make a payment.

For each payment, you specify the payment amount and the date the payment is to be made. The

payment date must be at least one business day before each payment is due. On the date you specify,

the bank transfers the money from your account to the State’s account. There is no cost to you and

we have no access to your bank account.

Paying on Time

You must submit your payment and receive a confirmation number before 5:00 p.m., ET, on the business

day before the date the tax is due. Payment deadlines are listed on the Florida e-Services Calendar of

Due Dates (Form DR-659).

Note: If you pay electronically, using software you purchased, check with your software vendor for

deadlines that may differ from those listed on the calendar of due dates (Form DR-659).

Payment Scheduling

You can schedule electronic payments ahead of time with our payment-scheduling feature. When you

provide your payment instructions, you can choose a withdrawal date that is up to 30 calendar days in

the future. This lets you submit your electronic return early and have the electronic payment withdrawn

from your bank account at a later date.

Paying Tax Bills

You can pay bills (Notice of Amount Due or Demand for Payment) online for most taxes using an ACH-

Debit or a credit card. You do not have to be enrolled in e-Services to pay bills online. However, once

you enroll, you are able to quickly check your account status online and see if any bills have been posted

to your account. You don’t have to wait for notices to arrive in your mail box!

Electronic Filing

To file on time, you must submit your return and receive a confirmation number before 5:00 p.m., ET, on

or before the date the tax return is due. If you submit a return and payment together, you must follow the

electronic payment deadlines. The due dates for electronic payments are provided on Form DR-659.

Note: If you file using software you purchased, check with your software vendor for filing deadlines.
