MA E-FILING 2012?

[Max W]

Does MA still accept efiling for 2012 returns?

TIA

[Catherine]

No.  Anything after 10/15 MUST be filed on paper.  

 

Don't forget to check the stupid little box on the bottom of page 1 on Form 1,and get your client to sign the EFO (please do not e-file my return) form.

 

Also please note that Massachusetts will take ANY payment received as estimated tax after 1/15, and apply it to the then-current year.  They will never apply it to a prior year.  If you want money to go to a prior year, wait for a bill.

Thanks, Catherine.

 

Am prepping both a 1065 and personal returns for 2012 & 2013.

So, are you saying no MA efiling at all? -and to check the box on the MA1.

Is there anything similar on the MA 3?

[Catherine]

Form 3 is under e-file mandate BUT they still won't take prior-year returns.  So you'll have to paper file.  There is no check box to opt-out, to my knowledge.

 

No e-filing of prior year returns, at all.

Thanks again.

[Catherine]

anytime!
