Electronic Filing Information
The Department of Revenue joined with the Internal Revenue Service to offer electronic filing of federal and state individual income tax returns. The Federal/State Electronic Filing Program allows taxpayers to file both their federal and state returns electronically through their tax preparer. This program is an effort to provide “one-stop shopping” for all tax preparation and filing. Taxpayers, tax practitioners and the Department of Revenue benefit from electronic filing.
Additional information can be found in the Publication KY-1345 - 2012 Handbook for Electronic Filing. [PDF - 470K] (Posted 09-24-2012)

Withholding Tax |
|
Department of Revenue allows employers to submit wage and tax information via the internet as an alternative method of submitting the Report of Employees Annual Wage and Tax Information. This method is offered at no cost to the employer. Regulation 103 KAR 18:050, requires employers doing business in Kentucky with 100 or more employees to magnetically or electronically report annual wage and tax information. Submission of Wage and Tax information must be filed on or before January 31.
Department of Revenue will assign a personal identification number (PIN) when the employer declares an intention to send annual wage and tax reports to Department of Revenue via the Web. To register, use the Authorization to Submit Employees Annual Wage Statements Via DOR Web Site - Form 42A808.
Filers who registered to use the FTP software from previous years are already registered to use the web site. The PIN doesn't change. If you have forgotten your PIN number, send an email. The FTP software previously used will no longer work for any tax year.
If you have already registered and are ready to transfer your withholding information, go to E-file and Payment Options in the top right hand corner of most of the pages within the DOR webpage.
