E-filing information for 1120 Florida

Electronic filing mandate

Florida law authorizes the Department of Revenue to require taxpayers who paid $5,000 or more in corporate income tax during the state’s prior fiscal year (July 1 - June 30) to file Florida corporate income tax returns and pay tax electronically. In addition, taxpayers required to file their federal corporate income tax returns electronically are required to file their Florida corporate income tax returns electronically..
If taxpayers are unable to comply with these requirements despite good faith efforts or due to circumstances beyond a taxpayer’s reasonable control, a taxpayer may request a temporary waiver of the electronic filing and payment requirements.

Returns supported for electronic filing

You can electronically file the following return types:
  • C Corporation
  • S Corporation (when subject to federal tax)
  • Amended
  • Consolidated / combined
  • Short year
  • Estimates (filed separate from return)
  • Extension

Returns not supported for electronic filing

You can't electronically file the following return types:
  • S corporation returns with no current-year liability

Signature requirements for electronic filing

Florida doesn’t have a specific signature form for corporate returns. Instead, Florida considers the act of completing and filing electronically an authorized signature.

Resubmit returns

If you need to make a change to a return that you have already electronically filed, and Florida has already accepted it, you must amend and file the return.
If Florida rejects the return, you may make the changes, correct the rejection and resubmit. If the return can be retransmitted electronically, you must file and have Florida accept it by the return due date or ten calendar days after you initially received the rejected acknowledgement, whichever is later.
If you can't retransmit the rejected return electronically, you must file a paper return by the due date or ten calendar days after you initially received the rejected acknowledgement, whichever is later. You should include an explanation of why you are filing the return late and a copy of the rejection.

Attachments

If the federal return is not supported for electronic filing by the IRS, you can still file the Florida return electronically. UltraTax CS will attach the federal return as a PDF.
Florida allows you to attach PDF documents to the electronic file. They don’t have specific naming conventions for what you title the file name. The following forms automatically generate as a PDF and attach to the electronic file:
  • Form F-2220
  • Form 4626
  • Elections, Net Operating Loss Carryover Worksheet
  • Capital Loss Carryover Worksheet
  • Contribution Carryover Worksheet
  • Section 168(k) Depreciation Adjustment Worksheet
  • Section 179 Expense Adjustment Worksheet

Payment methods

Florida allows electronic funds withdrawal (direct debit), electronic funds transfer (EFT), or a check mailed with a voucher for balance due returns and extensions. If you pay via electronic funds withdrawal, you must pay the full balance. All extensions with a balance due that you electronically file must be paid by electronic funds withdrawal (EFW) or electronic funds transfer (EFT).
Bank information and a requested payment date are required when you are requesting EFW. Florida will use the bank information you enter on the federal Bank screen. If you have different bank information for Florida, use the FLBank screen in the General folder.
