You do not need to register as a portal user to submit an estimated payment or file a personal income tax return.

The Short-Term Rental Lodging Tax established by 84 Del. Laws c 474 is in effect for short-term rental agreements entered into on or after January 1, 2025. Filing of the Short-Term Rental Lodging Tax Form and related tax payments must be made electronically through the Delaware Taxpayer Portal. See here and here for more information.

Registration of “Doing Business As” (DBA) names will move to an online process through OneStop and administered by the Division of Revenue on February 2nd, 2026. Prior to that date, information on any process changes that will impact existing DBA holders will be communicated by letter to the address associated with the DBA in the existing Courts database (https://courts.delaware.gov/tradenames/) and hosted on Revenue’s Trade Name FAQ page (https://revenue.delaware.gov/trade-names-faqs/).
