Anyone to whom you provide your SFP website address can upload files to you through Guest Exchange. You are not required to establish a client account, and the sender does not need a username and password. A name and email address suffice.

Taxpayer Steps

1. Navigate to your preparer's Drake Portals website and locate the Guest Exchange panel:

   

2. Click Upload. The upload screen is displayed:

   

3. Complete all informational fields as needed.

4. Click Select to browse for the file(s) to be uploaded.

5. Click Submit.

Notes

• An email notification is always sent to the selected preparer or to the default email address identified in your setup. The account settings email option Send e-mail when clients upload/download files does not affect Guest Exchange.

• If the total file size exceeds your portal storage limit, the client receives an error message.

After a file has been uploaded, you will receive notification and be able to access it from the Guest Exchange portion of Drake Portals under Incoming Files.
