1040 state issues or info

updated 1-23-09--state acks--We are receiving Acks from state agencies now and are beginning to send those acks to customers. We step through each new state manually for the first few acks to make sure the files received comply with standards and process correctly. Most piggyback states acks we?ve received will be out to customers today. We're working on states that use non-standard ack systems, including MA, CA, IL and OH. These will begin processing in the next day or so, and we expect to have all acks on autopilot by early next week.

We have heard that both AL and CO are having issues getting Acks through to developers, but both states are actively working to resolve this issue.

CCH SFS does not consider state acks late until 5 days after the federal accepted ack. At that point we research all returns missing acks and coordinate with the state agency to re-acquire all outstanding acks.

The only thing new about this message is the date. They posted the same thing last week, yet still no acks here in CA.

You received this email because you are on the Ohio e-file practitioner email list. As requested from the practitioner community all recipients on this email are notified via bcc

This email pertains only to practitioners who use ATX software. All others may disregard this notice.

Practitioners,

I've received several email from ATX customers who have not received any of their Ohio acknowledgements yet. This is probably a result of the new electronic transmitter identification numbers (ETIN) that the IRS assigned this year. The acknowledgements are posted according to the software's ETIN. Therefore, if the database doesn't have the new ETIN then the acknowledgements will be delayed.

Please do not contact ATX directly. I contacted the programmer and hope to hear back from ATX soon. I will notify you once the issue has been resolved.

Please contact me if you have questions.
