Sharon Eldred Posted January 10, 2018 Report Posted January 10, 2018 Starting to do our 1099 and W2's for clients through the ATX software for this tax season which needs to be done before Feb. 1st 2018. I am wondering why I cannot create or e-file any of them even when they have no errors. I get the message "the efile cannot be created because these forms are not yet approved for efile". We rolled everything over and are doing 2017's version of the 1099 and W2's. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Quote

E-filing W-2 forms is simply uploading files to the SS site. Quote
Sharon Eldred Posted January 10, 2018 Author Report Posted January 10, 2018 Last year I was able to create and e-file all of my 1099's and W2's 4 weeks before the deadline of February 1st. Quote

How is that working for you this year? IRS has announced that no e-filed personal returns will be accepted before Jan. 29, 2018. Quote

Lee B Posted January 11, 2018 Report Posted January 11, 2018 Sharon, I have been preparing and printing W-2s and 1099s all week. Make sure you have the most recent version 2017.1.7 downloaded and installed. If you do, you must have some corrupted files and then you will need to call support. Quote
Lee B Posted January 12, 2018 Report Posted January 12, 2018 According to ATX Kristin, the IRS started accepting efiled 1099s,10:00 AM EST this morning. Quote
