Can we still efile 1041s prepared with 2007 program?

[David]

Can we still e-file an estate tax return that is on a fiscal year? The estate 1041 was prepared in the 2007 program. I don't have the activation code for the 2008 program yet. However, that shouldn't matter should it?

The efile was created, however, I have had an efile that was created be rejected and the message says that it has to be paper filed. I don't want the client to sign the efile authorization form and then I have to tell them that I can't efile the return.

Thanks,

David

I checked with ATX support after the 10/15/08 deadline and asked about efiling our 941's and corporate fiscal year returns. Their response was that all the business returns efiling would be supported through the end of the year. Our 941's went through okay; I have only one 1120 and I intend to efile that one this week.
