This Monthly Tax Return will function in the same manner as the current mail and Excel returns. You will be asked for the following information:

1. Account Number: This number identifies your facility in our system.  It is found in the upper left corner of your paper return.  It is a two to four digit number followed by a (-) and a single numberic digit.  Examples: 12-3, 123-4 or 1234-5.  If you do not have an account number or you do not know it, please contact us at the phone number or web address found below. 
2. Tax Type: You must select a tax type from the drop down combo box. The type represents the tax rate your facility collects and submits. Currently, there are five current tax types: AB, CO, CF, CT and FB.  If you are unsure about your tax types, use this Tax Types List link.   If you need further information, please contact us.
3. Filing Month: The return will default to the current month due.   If you desire to prepare and submit the return for past due months, you may select the month from the drop down combo box.   Before submitting a prior month, please contact us and discuss it with the inspector in charge of your account in order to avoid possible collection proceedings.
4. Filing Period: The due dates are based on the month selected, and the due date is always the 20^th unless it falls on a Saturday, Sunday, Legal Holiday, in which case it is due on the following county business day, or if prior approval is granted to file on a different date.
   **If your facility uses a 13 period reporting schedule, you may select a period.  The due date is based on the month due date.
5. Filing Year: The return will default to the year that corresponds to the selected month. You can enter the year manually; it must be in a four-digit (YYYY) format.
