    Using SRU Files for Tax Filing

    Last updated: Mar 30, 2026

    Skatteguru allows you to export your K4 form data into an SRU (Standardiserat Räkenskapsutdrag) file. This format is accepted by Skatteverket and can save you significant time by avoiding manual data entry.

    Choose the right upload method

    If your SRU file has more than 300 sales, Skatteverket's Import flow will reject it. Use Method 2, Filöverföring, instead. For 300 sales or fewer, Method 1 is usually the quickest option.

    Downloading Your SRU File from Skatteguru

    Follow these steps to download your K4 data as an SRU file:

    1

    Navigate to K4 Form

    Go to the Tax tab and the relevant tax year in your Skatteguru dashboard.
    2

    Review Your Data

    Verify that the generated K4 table accurately reflects your trades.
    3

    Click SRU File Button

    Find the SRU File button above the K4 table and click it.
    4

    Enter Your Details

    In the modal, enter your Personal Number (12 digits: ÅÅMMDDXXXX) and Full Name.
    5

    Download the File

    Click Download K4 as SRU to save the file (e.g., BLANKETTER.SRU).

    Important: Verify Your Details

    Incorrect Personal Number or Name will cause Skatteverket to reject the file during upload. Make sure they match exactly what's registered with Skatteverket.

    Method 1: Direct Import (300 sales or fewer)

    If your SRU file has 300 sales or fewer, the quickest method is to import it directly in Skatteverket's income tax declaration e-service.

    More than 300 sales?

    Skip this method and use Method 2, Filöverföring. Skatteverket Import will reject BLANKETTER.SRU files with more than 300 sales.
    1

    Log in to Skatteverket

    Visit Skatteverket.se using BankID or e-identification.
    2

    Go to Income Tax Declaration

    Navigate to your income tax declaration (Inkomstdeklaration).
    3

    Find K4 Form Section

    In the Attachments ("Bilagor") section, locate Försäljning av värdepapper m.m." and click Importera (Import).

    5

    Complete the Upload

    Follow the on-screen instructions (usually clicking Importera or Ladda upp) to finish.
    6

    Review and Submit

    Crucial: Carefully review all imported data on Skatteverket's site before submitting your tax return.

    Website Changes May Occur

    Skatteverket's website and e-service layout may change over time. The exact steps or button names might differ slightly. If you encounter difficulties, try Method 2 below or refer to Skatteverket's own guides.

    Next Steps

    After importing your SRU file, Skatteverket will automatically populate the K4 form fields with your data. Here's what to do:

    1. Review all imported numbers carefully for accuracy
    2. Verify that profits, losses, and acquisition costs match your records
    3. Make any manual corrections if needed
    4. Complete any remaining fields in your tax declaration
    5. Submit your declaration when satisfied

    Method 2: Using Skatteverket's Filöverföring

    If the direct import method fails, or Skatteverket says your BLANKETTER.SRU contains more than 300 sales, use Skatteverket's dedicated file transfer e-service ("Filöverföring"). This service accepts SRU files and processes them separately from your income tax declaration.

    When to use this method

    Use filöverföring when Skatteverket Import rejects your file because it has more than 300 sales, or if the direct import fails for another reason.

    Understanding SRU Files

    Skatteverket's filöverföring service requires two SRU files:

    • INFO.SRU: Contains metadata about the SRU package and file creator/uploader (Skatteguru/Fysikum AB), not your K4 trade data. Download INFO.SRU
    • BLANKETTER.SRU: Contains your actual K4 form data with your personal number, name, and trade information (downloaded from Skatteguru)

    Both Files Required

    You must upload both INFO.SRU and BLANKETTER.SRU to filöverföring. Download INFO.SRU above and use the BLANKETTER.SRU file from Skatteguru.

    Step-by-Step Instructions

    1

    Download INFO.SRU

    Download INFO.SRU and save it to the same folder as your BLANKETTER.SRU.
    2

    Locate BLANKETTER.SRU

    Find the BLANKETTER.SRU file you downloaded from Skatteguru.
    3

    Log in to Skatteverket

    Visit Skatteverket.se and log in using BankID or other e-identification.
    4

    Navigate to Filöverföring

    Go to E-tjänster (E-services) and search for "Filöverföring" or find it under the business section. The direct page is often called "Filöverföring – Inkomstdeklaration 1 och 2".
    5

    Upload INFO.SRU

    Click Ladda upp (Upload) next to the INFO.SRU field and select the INFO.SRU file you downloaded.
    6

    Upload BLANKETTER.SRU

    Click Ladda upp (Upload) next to the BLANKETTER.SRU field and select the BLANKETTER.SRU file from Skatteguru.
    7

    Verify and Submit

    Review that both files show as uploaded. Click Skicka (Send) or Lämna (Submit) to complete the transfer.
    8

    Save the Confirmation

    Save or print the confirmation page for your records. You should receive a confirmation that the files have been received.

    Do NOT Rename the Files

    Both files must keep their exact original names:INFO.SRU and BLANKETTER.SRU. Skatteverket's system expects these exact filenames. Renaming them will cause the upload to fail.

    File Size Limit

    The BLANKETTER.SRU file must not exceed 5 MB. If your file is larger, contact Skatteguru support for assistance.

    Next Steps

    After uploading your files via filöverföring, Skatteverket will process your SRU files. Here's what happens next:

    1. Wait for Skatteverket to process your files
    2. Check your income tax declaration e-service for updated information
    3. Your K4 data should appear pre-filled in the relevant form fields
    4. Review all imported numbers carefully for accuracy
    5. You may need to manually transfer some figures to the correct boxes if auto-fill doesn't work
    6. Complete any remaining fields in your tax declaration
    7. Submit your declaration when satisfied

    Need Help?

    If your K4 data hasn't appeared in your declaration or you encounter any issues, contact Skatteverket support with your filöverföring confirmation details.
