What do I need to enroll in AutoFile for Kentucky?

To enroll in AutoFile for Kentucky, you'll need the details listed below:

What's my State Registered Business Name?

This is the business name you provided to the state when you registered for your sales tax license.
It should be listed on your sales tax registration paperwork.

What's my State Tax ID?

This is the 9 digit state certificate number you received from the state when you registered for your sales tax license.
It usually begins with three zeros and needs to be the account number associated with your sales tax account and not any other tax type you have with the state.

TaxJar will need access to your sales tax account in order to complete your Kentucky AutoFile enrollment. There are two options:

PIN Code - Once you submit your Enrollment, TaxJar will request access to your KY myTaxes sales tax account. The state will be sending a notice to your address on file with a unique Personal Identification Number (PIN). Once you receive this PIN, come back to your Enrollment form and enter it. Please allow 10-14 business days to receive the letter in the mail.
Gross Receipts from most recently filed return - TaxJar can gain access to your KY myTaxes sales tax account using the Gross Receipts from your most recently filed return. The return must have been filed after March 14, 2025 in the new myTaxes system. If you have that information, enter it on your Enrollment form.

What if I have an SST account?

We can still support you through AutoFile to file your returns.
You need to provide us with your SST account number in the State Tax ID field beginning with "S"

What's my State Assigned Payment Schedule?

This is the filing frequency assigned to you by the state.
If you're not sure of this detail for your account, you can contact the state's DOR and ask them to confirm this detail for you. (We list contact details for the states here.)

What's my First Filing Period?

Pending successful verification, the period listed here is the estimated first filing period TaxJar will file.
The First Filing period is based on the date the enrollment form is saved and the payment schedule.
