Important Updates and Information for Bulk Filers (Nov 2023)
Bulk Filing via INTIME or SFTP
Customers submitting large files for certain tax types (listed below) can electronically bulk file these records with DOR in the following ways:
- If a file size is under 10 MB, manually enter or upload via INTIME. When filing securely via INTIME, bulk files do not require a file naming convention or encryption. An INTIME Guide for Business Customers is available. Visit the INTIME Tax Center page for all guides and resources.
- If a file size exceeds 10 MB, upload via SFTP. Registering for SFTP can only take place if a file has been rejected by INTIME for exceeding the 10 MB size restriction. When bulk filing via SFTP, it is required to follow the file naming convention and file(s) must be encrypted. A SFTP Bulk Filing Guide is available.
