I'm also adding this article to learn how to electronically file your federal tax forms: E-file and e-pay forms and taxes.

Keep me posted if you have need more help in generating or filing your other reports. Have a good one.

I was able to create the form but I do not see the option to "efile". I only see "print & mail"

I can help you with e-filing your report, @DeniseG.

For Florida, you can e-file and e-pay together. This means that e-payment and e-filing are created in the same step and sent to the state agency at the same time.

First, make sure to set up your QuickBooks Desktop Payroll account so you can electronically pay your state payroll taxes and file state forms. Then, register with your agency. They will provide you with an account number, your tax rates, deposit frequency, and if necessary, login credentials to their websites for payments and forms.

From here, you can set up scheduled payments and then set up an e-file in QuickBooks. For detailed guidance, check out steps 3 and step 4 in the following article: Set up state e-file and e-pay in QuickBooks Desktop Payroll Enhanced.

After doing those steps, you can now file your state payroll tax forms and pay your state taxes electronically. See this article for more information: E-file and e-pay state forms and taxes in QuickBooks Desktop Payroll Enhanced.

Then, check out this article for more information on how you check e-file or e-pay status from your account: Check e-file or e-pay status in QuickBooks Desktop Payroll Enhanced.

I'm always here if you need further help e-filing your reports. Let me know by leaving a reply below. Keep safe and have a wonderful day!

I don't see where this is an option for the New Hire Report

Thanks for getting back to us in the Community, @DeniseG. I've got some information you need so you can e-file your new hire report in QuickBooks Desktop Payroll. 

Beforehand, ensure to update your QuickBooks Desktop to the latest release. This will fix any critical issues and sync all payroll information once you get the latest payroll tax table update.

3. In the File Forms section, choose the New Hire Form for your state. If the form is not there:
   a. Select the Forms dropdown.
   b. Select Make a New Form Active.
   c. Next to State, choose your state.
   d. Select the form from the list, and select Add Form.
4. Select File Form or Create Form.
