Guidelines for Reproduced and Substitute Paper Tax Forms
Hawaii state tax forms and reproduction specifications are available on the Federation of Tax Administrators (FTA) Secure Exchange System (SES) website. The SES website is a secure way to provide files to those that reproduce our forms.
Access to the SES website will be granted upon receipt and approval of:
Form EF-6, Revised Hawaii Forms Reproduction Program Letter of Intent, Tax Year 2024, and
Pub EF-4, Revised Hawaii Third Party Print Vendors Handbook for Forms Reproduction, Tax Year 2024 (Rev. 2024) Release Date: October 24, 2024.
Any test forms submitted without an approval confirmation email from us will not be tested. Please submit Form QA-1, DOTAX – QA Form Testing Approval Transmittal, when submitting forms for testing.

Printed reproduced or substitute Hawaii tax forms must adhere to certain requirements to insure they are consistent with the official forms and compatible with our processing system.
Any printed reproduced forms that have crucial inconsistencies with the official version which results in an unprocessible tax return will be returned to the taxpayer. The taxpayer will be notified that their tax return cannot be processed and the taxpayer must resubmit the tax return using an approved reproduction of the form. There is no perfection period for paper forms.
If you have any questions, please email us at [email protected].
IMPORTANT! The forms posted on the SES website cannot be used or filed until they are posted on DOTAX’s Tax Forms and Publications web page. Most forms will be posted on the first business day of January.
