Temporary Event Reporting Data File Transmission

Data File Transmission is an application to securely transmit required event operator reports to the department electronically without using e-mail. These reports should be submitted by the event operator rather than participating sellers.

Format: Although a Microsoft spreadsheet or database report is preferred, it is not required. A template spreadsheet is available if you do not have information already entered in another format. Be sure all required information is provided within the file because file names are changed during the transmission process.

Required Information: The event operator must report the following information to the department within 10 days of the close of each event. See Event Operators for more information on operator reporting requirements.

Operator Information: Legal name and address of the operator, telephone number of the operator, e-mail address of the operator.
Event Information: Name of the event, date or dates of the event, and location of the event.
Seller Information: Legal name, business name, address, telephone number, and if available, the Wisconsin seller's permit number of each seller at the event.
