Tax Refunds Information
To request a tax refund, file an
Application for Refund - Sales and Use Tax
(Form DR-26S) or
Application for Refund - All Other Taxes
(Form DR-26). An application form may be completed to request moneys paid
into the State Treasury for a tax overpayment, payment when tax was not
due, or payment made in error.
When submitting your refund application online, a confirmation page will
be displayed with a confirmation number on it. Print the page or write
down the confirmation number for your records. The Florida Department of
Revenue may notify you within 30 days of the refund submission of any
documentation required to process your refund claim. The application will
not be considered valid until all supporting documentation is received by
the Department.
