SAXTAX20100305.exe Full installation 03/05/10 Full Installation - FL Sales tax and GA Sales tax users must initially download this version (01/26 or later) in order to get into the Sales Tax program for 2010.

(This file is much larger than the patch update. If you already have the program installed, try downloading and installing the patch above. This install should only be needed if you are having problems patching or for a new installation).

Instructions for Downloading and Loading Update files to your system.

Step 1, Download (or Save) the Files to your system:

  1. From the table above, click to select and download the "patch file" or complete installation. You must download the specified files one at a time. Once selected, if your browser asks, choose Save As to save the file to any location on your system.  Do not try to open or run the file from this web site. We suggest that you save downloaded files to your desktop or to a folder (for example, "My Downloads") on your hard drive.
  2. When saving your file, note the name of the file, "pt----.exe" or "SAXTAX2010----.exe", where ---- corresponds to the date of the patch or the date of the full installation.
  3. We virus check all files before putting them on the web, but it is a good practice for you to scan them after downloading them.

Step 2, Install the Program Files to your system:

 The ".exe" file format is the "standard" installation used to install all SAXTAX programs. The "patch update" will only replace older or existing files, so be sure to install to the same drive and directory as your original SAXTAX Program files.
  1. In Windows Explorer or My Computer, locate the downloaded file and double click it to begin the installation.
  2. Follow the on screen prompts to complete the installation.
