Electronic Filing for Telecommunications Tax

Those taxpayers that have an average monthly liability over $1,000 must file all returns and schedules electronically or on magnetic media. Voluntary participation in the program is welcomed. We offer two methods of electronic submission for this tax: 1) Direct transmission and 2) 3.5” diskette. The following returns and schedules are accepted: RT-2, RT-2-X, and RT-2-M.

If you wish to create your own software for filing or create software to sell, please refer to the RT-750, Electronic Filing - Telecommunication Returns. Once we have received your enrollment form, we will contact you regarding testing.

Note: Some taxpayers are required to pay their tax electronically using Electronic Funds Transfer.

If you choose to have a third party file your return, the following are vendors who are approved by the department to electronically file these returns:
