Ray in Ohio Posted February 27, 2008 Report Posted February 27, 2008 I have never e-filed 1099s before and really need to do a few yet. I imput and printed the paper copies for recipient and client. Then I hit hte "efile" button at the top expecting a signature page or some other form would be needed in order for it to e-file. No forms popped up and the efiles were created with only the 1096 and the 1099. Am I missing something? If it is really this easy, I want my time back that I spent on 30+ other companies I printed and MAILED 1099s this year. I just can't believe that it's this easy. I hope someone can enlighten me :scratch_head: Quote
Margaret CPA in OH Posted February 27, 2008 Report Posted February 27, 2008 It IS that easy. What is difficult is getting the acknowledgements! See the various comments/complaints including mine. I've had 6 accepted and another 6 validated going back to Jan. 30. I have been assured that they have been accepted by IRS but have not proof. The acks have to be manually posted or something. Tomorrow I think I will print out and mail. Quote
Ray in Ohio Posted February 27, 2008 Author Report Posted February 27, 2008 Thanks Margaret. Blows my mind. Why have I been printing and mailing till now???????? I had read the posts with the acks not coming back. >>Tomorrow I think I will print out and mail<< Are you sure this is a good idea? If the IRS has recieved them, but ATX has issues with returning the ACKs, would this cause problems with the IRS if they recieve a duplicate copy of previously filed forms? Possibly create a whole lot of correcting etc to do later. <just wondering> Quote
lydia33 Posted February 28, 2008 Report Posted February 28, 2008 Super Simple. I got my ack. back a couple of weeks ago. Best way to go. :rolleyes: Quote
Margaret CPA in OH Posted February 28, 2008 Report Posted February 28, 2008 Ray in Ohio I am not sure it's a good idea for the 6 ATX says are accepted but I am really nervous about the other ones. The potential penalties weigh a bit heavier on my mind than the letters needing a response. I really don't quite know exactly what to do. Quote
MontanaEA Posted February 28, 2008 Report Posted February 28, 2008 Margaret, I made this same inquiry to tech support yesterday. I was reminded by Josh in tech support that the employer's copies don't have to be filed before MARCH 31st if e-filed. I didn't know that. So, I guess we've got a little more time to get these e-filed 1099's ironed out. Quote
