We're moving to a new, integrated tax administration platform. This will be a 4-year implementation process, with different taxes moving to our new, modernized Online Services platform each year. We'll be maintaining multiple systems for a few years. Our goal is to minimize disruptions during this transition as we improve and modernize our systems.
Business taxes will be impacted first
Businesses will be able to begin the transition to the new Online Services platform in September. Tax professionals with an existing tax preparer online account will also be able to transition their account to the new platform using their current credentials.
Starting November 9, businesses and tax professionals will no longer be able to file and pay certain taxes, like sales & use and withholding taxes, in our existing online services platform (iFile). If your business clients are impacted by these changes, we encourage you to start using the new Online Services platform once it is available in September to get used to the new system.
What's coming later
Once we've moved sales and withholding taxes to the new platform, we'll begin transitioning other taxes.
Later rollouts will include:
- Corporate income tax
- Pass-through entity income tax (PTE)
- Individual income tax
- Other miscellaneous taxes
