Sales Tax Web File is the easiest and fastest way to file sales and use tax returns and make payments. You'll receive an electronic confirmation number with the date and time you Web filed your return.
To get started, create an Online Services business account. You also can grant your tax preparer access to Web file.
You can Web File most forms and schedules, including:
- monthly, quarterly, and annual sales tax returns (most monthly filers are required to Web File)
- PrompTax filers submitting Form ST-810
- no-tax-due returns and final returns
- the Sales Tax Record of Advance Payment (ST-330)
- most sales tax schedules
You can't use Sales Tax Web File to submit:
- certain sales tax schedules
- amended sales tax returns
- PrompTax payments.
- Form AU-11, Application for Credit or Refund
- returns previously filed
- reports with taxable sales or purchases in excess of $999,999,999
Pay directly from your bank account
Make Sales Tax Web File payments directly from your bank checking or savings account at the time you file. There's no charge from the Tax Department. You should contact your bank if you have an ACH debit block on your account to prevent unauthorized debits
Confirmation
Print a copy for your records, it serves as proof you filed on time for the period.
Late filing
Web file accepts late filed returns through the month following the due date. However, the minimum penalty for late filing is $50. Use our penalty and interest calculator to help figure what you owe. If you are filing Sales Tax No Tax Due, you can late-file a return for only two periods: the current period, and the last previous period. File paper returns for other previous periods.
Final return
You can Web file a "final" sales tax return. On the Questionnaire page, answer yes to the question, "Is this a final return?" and proceed with the Web file process. Once your return is submitted, complete the back of your Sales Tax Certificate of Authority and mail it to:
NYS TAX DEPARTMENT
SALES TAX REGISTRATION UNIT
W A HARRIMAN CAMPUS
ALBANY NY 12227
When we receive the return and the certificate we'll deactivate your Sales Tax account, though you'll still have access to all other Online Services.
