There are two separate ways into Florida sales and use tax e-filing, and the Department's own navigation does not make the difference obvious. Which one you need depends on whether you enrolled for e-Services when you registered.
Open the Revenue Premier sign-in →
This is the Department's own page at login.prd.floridarevenue.com. It is the direct route to the taxpayer portal and is genuinely hard to reach from the floridarevenue.com home page, which is why it is reproduced here.
The two routes in
- Enrolled e-Services login
- For businesses that enrolled for e-Services. You sign in with the user ID and password you chose at enrolment, and you get saved banking details, filing history and the ability to file for multiple locations. This is the Revenue Premier portal linked above.
- Guest filing (no enrolment)
- You can file and pay without an account using your certificate number and business partner number, both printed on your Annual Resale Certificate and on correspondence from the Department. Nothing is saved between sessions and you re-enter bank details each time. Start from the eFile and Pay Sales and Use Tax page.
What you need to hand
- Certificate number — your sales tax certificate of registration number, issued after Form DR-1.
- Business partner number — a separate number the Department assigns; it is not the same as the certificate number, and both are needed for guest filing.
- Federal Employer Identification Number or SSN for a sole proprietor.
- Bank routing and account numbers if you are paying by electronic debit.
Electronic payments must be initiated by 5:00 p.m. Eastern on the business day before the 20th — not on the 20th itself. Signing in on the due date and paying that afternoon is the single most common way otherwise-compliant filers end up late. See filing frequency and due dates.
Common problems
- The link redirects somewhere unexpected
- The Department has moved this portal more than once. If the direct link stops resolving, start from the Department's eFile and Pay page, which is a stable landing page and always carries the current sign-in route.
- You never enrolled and have no user ID
- Use guest filing with your certificate and business partner numbers, or enrol for e-Services first. Enrolment is not automatic on registration.
- You have the certificate number but not the business partner number
- It appears on the Annual Resale Certificate and on Department correspondence. If you cannot find either, the Department's taxpayer assistance line can confirm them once you verify identity.
- You are trying to file a zero return
- A return is still required for every period with no tax due, and it is filed through the same portal. Skipping it triggers the $50 minimum penalty.
