Published on: 23603803. Section 27, Chapter 2020-10, Laws of Florida, amended section 443.163, F.S., repealing the requirement for reemployment tax agents who prepared and reported for 100 or more employees in any quarter during the preceding state fiscal year to file the Employer’s Quarterly Report (Form RT-6) by electronic means. This law also requires those employers required to file the Employer’s Quarterly Report (Form RT-6) by electronic means must file corrections to those reports by electronic means. The purpose of the proposed amendments is to update the rule to reflect these statutory changes.
Published on: 15296529. Section 1, Chapter 2014-196, L.O.F., amended Section 365.172, F.S., to require a prepaid wireless E911 fee on each purchase of a prepaid wireless service. The law requires the fee to be reported and remitted to the Department of Revenue. The purpose of the proposed amendments to Rule Chapter 12-24, F.A.C. (Payment of Taxes and Submission of Returns By Electronic Means; Taxpayer Recordkeeping and Retention Requirements), is to clarify when the prepaid wireless E911 fees must be reported and remitted by dealers through electronic means.
Taxpayers are no longer required to enroll prior to filing returns or remitting tax through electronic means. Rule 12-24.004, F.A.C., is amended to remove the obsolete language regarding mandatory enrollment. If taxpayers choose to enroll, they must do so either through the Department’s website or by submitting Form DR-600, Enrollment and Authorization for e-Services. Taxpayers must specifically authorize the Department to debit their bank accounts; therefore, the Department does not accept attempted enrollment through any means other than the two listed. As the specific information required for enrollment is found on the Department’s website or in Form DR-600, the list of information is being removed from the rule to avoid any confusion.
Taxpayers were previously required to obtain permission from the Department in order to use the ACH credit method to transfer funds. The Department has determined that this requirement provides no benefit to either taxpayers or the Department. Accordingly, Rule 12-24.005, F.A.C., is being amended to provide that taxpayers may elect to use either the ACH debit or the ACH credit method. Language relating to the granting of permission to use the ACH credit method is also being removed from Rule 12-24.008, F.A.C.
The term “unemployment” is changed to “reemployment” throughout the Rule Chapter due to the term being changed through Chapter 443, F.S., by Chapter 2012-30, L.O.F. The number given to one of the Department’s forms is also changed based on the statutory change of terms.
Technical changes have been made to an address used to receive written notifications from taxpayers and to the Department’s web address.
