Turn Florida DOR File and Pay into an API

What you can build on File and Pay

• Get submitted items

  Build this

  Opens ONLINE TRANSACTIONS, then Submitted Items, and reads the Transaction History: each return and payment with its status and whether it can still be canceled.

  Takes

  Submitted since (optional), status (optional)

  Returns

  Transaction type, form type, filing period, submitted date, amount, status, cancelable

• Check bulk file transmissions

  Build this

  Opens TRANSMITTER TRANSACTIONS, then View Transmissions, filters by date range or Transmission Status and reads each transmission's details.

  Returns

  Trace number, file type, submitted date, transmission status, description, manifest available

• Check consolidated return locations

  Build this

  Opens a DR-15CON return for one filing period and reads the Consolidated Return screen: every Location ID and the Return Status of its DR-7.

  Takes

  Filing period

  Returns

  Location ID, DR-7 return status

• File a DR-15 sales and use tax return

  Build this

  Fills in a DR-15 under File a Tax Return/Report, lines A to E and the surtax lines, selects Calculate, signs it and submits it, then schedules the payment.

  Filing period, gross sales, exempt sales, taxable amounts, surtax amounts, signer, debit date

  Returns

  Confirmation status, amount due with return, payment amount, debit date

Automate File and Pay with a workflow

A workflow runs your methods as one process, with nobody at the screen. A schedule or a call from your own system starts it, the steps run in order, and the result arrives in your inbox or in the systems you already use.

• Returns and payments that moved to Processed

  Build this

  Starts

  Every weekday at 8:00 Eastern

  Step 1

  Get the submitted items from the last 30 days.

  Step 2

  Keep the items whose status changed since the last run, such as from In Progress to Processed.

  Step 3

  Email you the list with form type, filing period, amount and new status.

• Failed or finished bulk transmissions, to your system

  Build this

  Starts

  Every hour

  Step 1

  Check the bulk file transmissions submitted today.

  Step 2

  Keep the transmissions whose Transmission Status changed since the last run.

  Step 3

  Post trace number, file type, status and error description to your webhook.

• Locations still open on the consolidated return

  Build this

  Starts

  Every month on the 12th at 9:00 Eastern

  Step 1

  Check the consolidated return locations for last month's filing period.

  Step 2

  Keep the Location IDs whose DR-7 is not Saved.

  Step 3

  Email you each Location ID with its status, or stop when every location is Saved.

You can run a workflow by hand on every plan, Free included. Schedules and webhook triggers come with the paid plans, from $29 a month.

Once built, one call from your code

Once you have built a method, it is one POST to /v1/runs from your backend, or a tool an AI agent calls over MCP. This is what “Get submitted items” would look like.

curl https://api.fous.com/v1/runs \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $FOUS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "method": "portal.fl.revenuepremier.com/get_submitted_items",
    "input": {
      "submitted_since": "2026-10-01"
    }
  }'

{
  "status": "completed",
  "data": {
    "business_name": "Acme Outdoor Supply LLC",
    "items": [
      {
        "transaction_type": "Return",
        "form_type": "DR-15",
        "filing_period": "2026-10",
        "amount": 4812.37,
        "submitted_date": "2026-11-09",
        "status": "Processed",
        "cancelable": false
      }
    ],
    "count": 1
  }
}

An example with invented data, not a ready-made endpoint. The method exists in your organization once you build it, and its name, inputs and fields follow your request.

File and Pay’s own options

The Department offers no API for reading a taxpayer's account. Machine filing is by XML: developers complete Form DR-600001 and build to the Department's specifications, and the files are uploaded in File and Pay one at a time or, for bulk uploads, over SFTP. Everything else, from Submitted Items to payments, is done on the site.

Signing in to File and Pay

File and Pay signs you in with your User ID and a password of at least 14 characters, and times out after 15 minutes of inactivity. A return can also be started with a Certificate Number and Business Partner Number, and Direct File has its own transmitter User ID. With Fous you sign in once through the site's own sign-in with your account: the login is sealed with AES-256, and an expired session is signed back in.

Worth knowing

Earlier filing history did not move over

Returns filed before your tax moved to the new system are not in it, and old confirmation numbers are not either. Sales tax history stayed in the old system until March 31, 2026; Form DR-841 requests copies.

The balance can show $0.00

The new system can show $0.00 when an amount is owed. To pay, you select the filing period and enter the amount yourself.

ACH payments cancel only until 5 p.m. ET

An ACH Direct Debit can be canceled from Submitted Items before 5 p.m. ET on the day it was submitted, or the next business day after a weekend or holiday. Credit card payments cannot be canceled.

Direct File is a separate account

Transmitters register a User ID different from their File and Pay one. A new account takes about 30 minutes to become active, and only one file can be submitted at a time.
