Florida rolling out new eFile & Pay system in late 2025

What’s changing
Florida’s Department of Revenue is rolling out a new eFile and Pay system for:
- Sales and use tax
- Solid-waste fees and surcharges
- Prepaid wireless fee
Key transition details:
- Old system access ends Nov 26 at 5:00 pm ET
- From Nov 26 → Dec 1, taxpayers can make payments only
- Full filing access resumes Dec 1 at 8:00 am ET
- Saved credentials will not migrate; filers must manually re-enter login information
- The old site remains available for historical data only
Who this affects
- Florida retailers
- Remote sellers collecting Florida sales tax
- Marketplace facilitators
- Anyone remitting prepaid wireless or solid-waste fees
If you file Florida returns manually or via batch uploads, your filing workflow will change.
Why this matters
Florida’s filing windows are tight.
If you miss the December transition steps, you risk:
- Missed deadlines
- Login lockouts
- Delayed December returns
- Penalties for late filing or late payment
If your use TaxCloud
If your filings are managed by TaxCloud, nothing will change for you — no action is required. TaxCloud will follow the new state requirements and submit your returns through Florida’s new eFile & Pay system. Our filing team is fully on top of this transition, and we do not expect any delays or changes to how your Florida filings are handled.
Next steps
- Retrieve your current User ID / password before Nov 26
- Download past confirmations or saved data from the old portal
- Re-enter credentials on the new system starting Dec 1
- File early in December to avoid long support queues (per DOR guidance)
