Filing of tax returns electronically is Secure, Fast, and Convenient. Treasury is committed to processing SBT e-file returns in less than half the time of paper returns, and account resolution for SBT e-file returns receive priority.

Treasury and its customers, continue to benefit from advances in technology that improve efficiencies and enhance the State's tax filing, refund, and audit processes. E-file is a key component in this improvement and enhancement.

Software developers have been advised that all SBT returns prepared with software must be e-filed. Therefore, if you prepare SBT returns using a computer software program you must e-file all eligible returns that are supported by your software.

You will need to use tax preparation software that supports SBT Direct e-file. The IRS and Treasury do not charge for e-filing. There may be fees associated with the commercial software used to prepare and transmit the returns.
