44.1. How Do I E-File My Florida Report?
E-Filing Your Florida State Report
Unfortunately, the state of Florida does not allow for compliance reports to be filed directly through third-party software like Campaign Manager, but the process of doing so is still a fairly simple task. In order to file a state report for Florida, two steps must be taken:
1. Generate a report e-file in Campaign Manager
2. Submit the report through Florida's Electronic Filing System (EFS).
How Do I Create the Report E-File in Campaign Manager?
From the Compliance Reports page in Campaign Manager, either start a new report, or open an existing one. Once you have filled out all of the proper criteria for the report and click the Generate button, you will see a page resembling the one below. Once your report has generated successfully, you will want to download the filed from the Electronic Reports section. You can do this by right clicking on the link, and clicking Save Link As. Once you have that file, you will be ready to upload to the Florida EFS.
How Do I Upload my Report E-File to the Florida EFS?
In order to upload your report, you will need your Candidate ID number and password to log into the EFS. Once you have been able to do so, follow the steps below to get your report filed.
1. At the top of the page, click on Filings and then Open New Report.
2. Click on the arrows next to Election Cycle and Report Type, and make the appropriate selections for the report you are trying to file.
3. Click on the Browse button, navigate to your report, and select and open it. The name of the file will appear in the text box next to the Browse button. Next, click on the Open Report button.
4. Click on View Report.
5. You will then be brought to the report summary. The Complete Status box in the upper right hand corner will indicate when the report upload process is completed. Once it indicates that the upload is complete, the report is filed and the process is complete. Note: you may need to refresh the page if the complete status does not change.
