Your Florida Department of Revenue Employer’s Quarterly Report (Form RT-6) for January, February, and March 2021 is due. You must file a report for each quarter, even if no tax is due. To ensure the accurate payment of reemployment benefits, it is vital that reports are filed timely.
Due Date of 1st Quarter Payment Extended to May 31, 2021
Pursuant to Governor DeSantis’ Executive Order #21-80, COVID-19 Reemployment Assistance/Payment of Employer Contributions, the due date for payment of reemployment tax for the quarter ended March 31, 2021, has been extended to May 31, 2021. This extension applies only to the payment; to be considered timely, employers must complete and file the Quarterly Report (Form RT-6) no later than April 30, 2021.
If you file and pay electronically, you must complete and submit your return on or before April 30, 2021. Because of the extended payment date, you must initiate payment no later than 5 p.m. ET on Friday, May 28, 2021 and indicate a debit date of June 1 (May 31 is a holiday). Payments may be scheduled up to 30 days in the future; therefore, you may need to submit your return and initiate payment separately. The Department of Revenue’s File and Pay webpage is at floridarevenue.com/taxes/filepay.
If you file a paper report, your report and payment must be postmarked or hand-delivered by Tuesday,
June 1, 2021 (May 31 is a holiday).
The first three quarters of reemployment tax can be paid in installments. The current report’s tax can be paid in four equal installments provided the RT-6 report, installment payment, and $5 annual fee are submitted timely.

Reports and payments received after the above dates are subject to penalty and interest. Failure to receive a reminder is not grounds for waiver of penalties and interest charged for late filing or payment.
To correct a previously filed quarterly report, you can submit corrections online using the Department’s File and Pay webpage at floridarevenue.com/taxes/filepay.
