Submitting files

Kentucky accepts electronic filing for Prior Years.
Kentucky Corrections must be paper filed.
The Kentucky Department of Revenue DOES NOT participate in the Combined Federal/State Filing Program.

CFS does not support CD filing because Form 42A806-CD is not supported by CFS and the form is required to accompany the CD.

To file W2s, 1099s and W2Gs, electronically, you must first request access to become a Transmitter. Once completed you will be able to submit these in the MyTaxe​s.ky.gov portal.

To become a Transmitter, please refer to the How to Guide for Transmitters.

If you have questions, please email us at: WHTransmitterRequest@ky.gov

Transmitter passwords expire every 90 days. Failure to update the credentials by logging in to MyTaxes will result in failed transmissions.

Form 1099 is only required to be filed with DOR when Kentucky tax is withheld.

When filing W2Gs in the MyTaxes.ky.gov portal, you MUST choose the 1099 option in the dropdown. W2G is not option.

DOR no longer accepts paper copies of Forms W-2, W-2G or 1099. Payers issuing 25 or fewer withholding statements, 1099’s with KY tax, or W-2G’s, must either file Form K-5 or submit the information in the accepted electronic format.
