Indiana Department of Revenue SFTP Bulk Upload Guide

This guide explains how to register for and use SFTP to submit tax files over 10 MB to the Indiana Department of Revenue. It covers steps for new and existing SFTP accounts, file naming conventions, encryption with PGP or GPG, and troubleshooting. The guide also explains when to use INTIME instead and how to handle ACH debit payments with debit blocks. Files must be validated and encrypted before submission, and acknowledgments are sent via email after processing.

The guide includes appendices for installing PGP/GPG software, setting up WinSCP, and handling common errors or acronyms. It is updated as of August 2023 and applies to all tax types submitted via SFTP, with special instructions for payroll service providers required to renew SFTP accounts annually.
