Here is STP Illinois demonstrating the "one-minute sales tax return". With STP you get signature-ready, printed sales tax forms that have been pre-approved by the Illinois Department of Revenue. STP Forms can be filed via postal mail as an alternative to electronic filing, or in combination with electronic filing.

First, open a new return.

Our sample company has three sales locations - Chicago, Elgin and Sycamore. For single-location companies the time to prepare a return will be far less.

For Chicago enter line 1, total receipts.

Click the auto-calc button to automatically prepare line 4 general merchandise.

Click line 2 worksheet to review our sales tax collected for Chicago. This amount can also be entered manually.

Repeat similar steps for the Elgin store.

Next, enter sales data for the Sycamore store.

Use the "government View" button to review the return and schedules. First preview the return, then click ST-1 worksheet for a preview and finally preview schedule ST-2 multi site form. All tax forms are cross-tabulated and have been pre-approved by the Illinois Department of Revenue.

Click the "Input View" button to go back to the sales data entry screen.

Click File return button to finish this return. Enter paid date to appear in the signature section of the return.

Tax professionals can select the preparer to appear in the paid preparer section of the return.

Leave the retailer's discount in place or turn it off if the return is overdue.

This return is now 100 percent complete and is signature-ready.

Close the sales data entry screen.

Click preview and print, check off our forms and send them to the printer.

That took about one minute.
