Tax-Prep Software for Sales & Use Taxes
We have the ability to electronically receive and process the ST-1, Sales and Use Tax Return and the ST-2, Multiple Site Form. Participation in the Illinois Electronic Filing Program for Sales & Use Tax returns is available to software developers, transmitters, Electronic Return Originators (EROs), and taxpayers. All participants must complete Form IL-8633-B, Business Electronic Filing Enrollment.
To use this method of filing, you can write your own software or
buy software from an accepted electronic filer (third party). If
you wish to create your own software for filing or create software
to sell, please refer to the
Implementation
Guide for Direct Electronic Filing of Sales and Use Tax. Once
we have received your enrollment form, we will contact you regarding
testing. If you choose to have a third party file your return, the
following are vendors who are approved by the department to electronically
