CCH SFS: IRS e-file (planned outages and deadlines)

11/15/2013

Updated 11-15-2013 IRS takes individual and business efile offline before January start dates

1040 Efile for current year 2012 plus 2011 and 2010 returns continues thru Nov 23rd. At that time, IRS takes down the individual efile system in preparation for the next tax year. Individual efile was expected to begin Jan 21, 2014 (although refer to IRS.gov as they may put off start date 1-2 weeks). When Individual efile resumes in 2014, you can efile current year 2013 returns plus 2012 and 2011. At that time, 2010 and earlier returns would need to be paper filed.

State acks not retrieved by November 23rd cannot be accessed again until MeF reopens for 1040 MeF Production in late January or early February 2014

Note that only MeF formatted returns can be efiled for current years and the software determines if the return qualifies for MeF. If only a Legacy efile can be created, then you must paper-file that return.

Business Efile for current year and two years back continues thru Dec 26th (date is tentative) At that time, IRS takes down the business efile system in preparation for the next tax year. Business efile is expected to begin Jan 6, 2014 (although refer to IRS.gov as they may put off start date for 1-2 weeks)
