Using Your Sunbiz E-File Account
Once you’ve received your account number via email, you’ll be able to manage your Prepaid Sunbiz E-File Account online. Visit sunbiz.org, log in using your provided account number and the password you established, and print an Electronic Filing Cover Sheet for the document you need to file.
Your cover sheet will provide the number to which you’ll fax your filing with its cover sheet. The filing fee will be deducted from your account once the document is received and processed.
Your documents may not be processed if your account has insufficient funds. You’ll need to make a deposit to proceed.
You’ll print another Prepaid Sunbiz E-File Deposit Slip, complete it with your shiny new account number, and mail it with a check for at least $300 made payable to the Florida Department of State.
