Set up your Kentucky filing

When setting up your Kentucky return, you'll need to enter the following information.

Do you have a physical presence in Kentucky?

Physical presence may include: an office, storefront, employee, salesperson, contractor, warehouse, inventory, or trade show attendance.

• If you answer YES, you'll be asked how many physical locations you have. You’ll then be asked to provide the address for your in-state physical location.
  • Note: TaxJar only supports users who have a single physical location in the state of Kentucky.

Your Kentucky tax account details

You'll need your sales tax registration information, which was provided to you by the state when you received your sales tax permit.

When did your tax registration take effect?

Enter the date your business first became liable for Kentucky sales tax. This is when your collection obligations began and should match the date you gave the state when you registered.

State Tax ID

Enter the sales and use tax ID issued by the state. It’s either 9 digits (123456789) or starts with S followed by 8 digits (S12345678). Don’t include spaces or dashes.

Third-party access verification

TaxJar needs third-party access to your Kentucky tax account to file and manage returns on your behalf. Choose an option for third-party access verification: Gross receipts from most recently filed return or PIN code.

Tax filing frequency

Select the frequency assigned to you by the state.

You'll then see the first tax return we expect to file for you, based on the current date and the filing frequency you selected.

Review and submit

Take a moment to review your filing application. Once you've confirmed that all information is correct, click Submit.

Then: Enter your PIN code (if you selected that verification option)

If you selected PIN code as your method of third-party access verification, Kentucky will mail a PIN code to your business address within 7–10 business days. Stripe will also email you with a link to enter the code. Entering this code authorizes TaxJar to file on your behalf.

• IMPORTANT: Your TaxJar account is created using the email address associated with your Stripe account, so if the TaxJar team needs to contact you, this is the email address we use by default. (Follow these instructions if you want to change this email address within your TaxJar account).

Once this PIN code is confirmed, TaxJar will review your information and finish setting up your filing.you’ll receive a security code in the mail 7-10 days after you set up your California filing. Return to the Tax Dashboard and enter the code to authorize TaxJar to access your California tax account.
