FAQs - Electronic Filing & Payment

Does the Missouri Department of Revenue provide motor fuel tax EDI software?

No. However, the required software mapping is provided in the EDI Implementation Guide so the taxpayer has the option of building an EDI program in-house. If the taxpayer chooses not to build the program, they can seek the assistance of a software vendor or contact the Electronic Filing Unit for Excel filing options at 573-751-8150 or email Elecfile@dor.mo.gov.

Do I have to be enrolled in the motor fuel tax EFT program in order to participate in EDI?

Currently, the taxpayer is allowed to participate in the EDI program, without participating in the EFT program. With the ease of electronic filing and payment, it’s recommended that the taxpayer consider taking advantage of both programs.

How do I begin EDI testing with the department?

Once the taxpayer has EDI software in place, contact the department to set up a testing schedule. This process includes receiving a department issued ID and password to gain access to the department’s secure internet file transfer site. For more information, call 573-751-8150 or email Elecfile@dor.mo.gov.

Where do I retrieve an acknowledgement for an EDI file I sent to the department?

A file acknowledgement can be downloaded at the file transfer site by reviewing “Account Status” located in the site’s menu.

How do I find out more about EDI?

The taxpayer can access the EDI Presentation for more information about the motor fuel tax EDI program. To address more specific questions, contact the department at 573-751-8150 or email Elecfile@dor.mo.gov.
