Ray in Ohio Posted April 15, 2008 Report Posted April 15, 2008 just curious if anyone has received and Acks today? I keep checking periodically. It really flies thru the sequence but no acks. I'll let you know if I get any. Quote
MN2V Posted April 15, 2008 Report Posted April 15, 2008 No ACKS here. But thanks everybody for getting me thru the year. I am hoping you will guide me also as I look for a user-friendly customer oriented program for next year. Quote
GLJEANNE Posted April 15, 2008 Report Posted April 15, 2008 Nope, not since yesterday morning. Nor or they showing up as accepted on the website. I'm in a stand alone state, don't normally submit the state returns until getting the fed accepted, but I'm giving it another couple hours, then submitting everything. Quote
Amy (biznester) Posted April 15, 2008 Report Posted April 15, 2008 I just mailed my 4868's, so I could pass out right now (pulled an all-niter). But I have too much java in me, LOL. I feel really blessed to just have a few in the queue. I feel for those of you who have tons of them there. Read on another thread someone is being charged for their efiled 4868's, when she thought they were supposed to be free. That's a painful ouch. I do have to say that the CCH people I've dealt with are nice and are working hard, but this season's just been an incredibly poorly-thought-out execution and in the end the failure rests with their corporate mission. I'll definitely be trying out other software or none at all (I'm supposed to be retiring). Still, it's sad for me. I did my first ATX return in 1994, the year my daughter started first grade. She's halfway thru college now.... Quote
Janitor Bob Posted April 15, 2008 Report Posted April 15, 2008 just curious if anyone has received and Acks today? I keep checking periodically. It really flies thru the sequence but no acks. I'll let you know if I get any. NO...they all still say Validated Quote
mdmcfarland Posted April 15, 2008 Report Posted April 15, 2008 Ihaven't received any Acks either. I have several validated returns waiting there. Sure would be nice to get the Acks. I even tired to synchronize and that didn't help. Quote
joelgilb Posted April 15, 2008 Report Posted April 15, 2008 Still no acknowledgments. Getting a little concerned here. I see they extended hours to 11 pm, but maybe they shouldn't have slept like many of us. Joel Quote
joans Posted April 15, 2008 Report Posted April 15, 2008 AAHHH - Just tried submitting - now rejecting. I love my job, I love my job, I love my job. Happy 15th everyone!! Quote
cred65 Posted April 15, 2008 Report Posted April 15, 2008 If you go to Billing Report in MYATX (providing you can get there), click on View Details and Printable Version you can determine the status of your returns listed as EFC Validated. The Extensions are listed by SS# but at least you can trace them back to EFC Validated. The cleared returns list the taxpayers name. This was a stress buster for me. Quote
Chrisbry Posted April 15, 2008 Report Posted April 15, 2008 ACK NO! But I'm not worried. ATX should be worried -- their nightmare will begin at 7AM tomorrow {that's when I start calling them every day until I have all my ACKS} Quote
Jill Kubiak Posted April 15, 2008 Report Posted April 15, 2008 Hi, While on hold with ATX last week, the message kept saying "for faster service login in to Tax Wise.com" so I did. Same user number, same login. same password as my ATX account. There is more info on their Splash Screen. The ack servers have been switched over to return receiving computers so preparers can send in their high volume of returns that are over loading the server bank. It doesn't say when the ack servers will be back so we can all go home tonight. So I was curious if we poor cousins are getting less information than the Tax Wise group, how much is Tax Wise. Ooops. I really didn't want to know. $3000 or so for what I am getting now. I could pare it down to 1657 but I don't know if it will get the job done. Jill Quote
joelgilb Posted April 15, 2008 Report Posted April 15, 2008 Worse than before. Now can't even connect to send returns or extensions! Maybe they should reopen the servers in Maine. Oh no can do they fired everyone over there. Joel Quote
joelgilb Posted April 15, 2008 Report Posted April 15, 2008 can't send several extensions and 2 completed retruns all are immediately rejected with a SQUIRRELY code that says I need to resubmit after first updating my program. Having updated 5 times today I think I have what I need! This is really putting me behind the eight ball! FORE! OOPS wrong game, 5 in the side pocket please. Joel Quote
joelgilb Posted April 15, 2008 Report Posted April 15, 2008 just got through to support Apparently their server is "FULL UP RIGHT NOW" (sic). GEESH! I don't need to add any comments to that! Joel Quote
taxbrewster Posted April 15, 2008 Report Posted April 15, 2008 This is such a joke....really atx you did not plan on being busy today. PLAN FOR IT. If it don't make dollars it don't make sense. :dunno: Quote
Lloyd Hudson Posted April 15, 2008 Report Posted April 15, 2008 47 files awaitng acks. finally got through without hanging my server. Quote
Daune/CA Posted April 15, 2008 Report Posted April 15, 2008 Transmissions "A-OK" and acknowledgements received. Oops, that was from TRX. Done for the season, hope all survive today. My thanks to all who participated on this board, it hs been a real help just to read how others have handled certain things, although I have not hd to contend with ATX problems. A very easy going tax season for me, but I hv been winding down my practice for several years. Have a wonderful summer! FYI it was in the high 80s over that past week in CA. Now I must get ready for the really warm summer :) Quote

joelgilb Posted April 15, 2008 Report Posted April 15, 2008 Wonder if TRX has as many forms as ATX. Nice thing about ATX for someone like me is all the other forms. like Articles of Incorporaton and Sales Tax forms. I don't think you find this in any other package. Joel Quote

Nice thing about ATX for someone like me is all the other forms. like Articles of Incorporaton and Sales Tax forms. I don't think you find this in any other package. Goodness no! Not even close. There are even some fairly common NY forms in the IT-201 personal series that they don't support. But e-filing is running smoothly today. Quote
joelgilb Posted April 16, 2008 Report Posted April 16, 2008 Goodness no! Not even close. There are even some fairly common NY forms in the IT-201 personal series that they don't support. But e-filing is running smoothly today. Well I agree with others out here, as frustrating as it was, it is not the only software to have a bump at the end in e-filing due to volume. And usually I am done days earlier, sitting around the last 2 days of tax season twiddling my thumbs waiting for those emergency calls. This was just an unusual season for me. Anyway, TRX won't work for me thn. I have come to rely on how extensive the ATX software is. Does have some downsides though. CCH take Note... 1. Speed... its not the faster than a speedy bullet. 2. sometimes difficult to find the input fields. 3. Can't link files, for instance the k-1 to the 1040 4. And I still want a way to have 2 current year files open at once. It's Excel based and Excel can do this, so why not ATX? to name just a few. Joel Quote
