Business Efile and Business States info

04/30/2009

updated 4-30-09 at 5pm--94x efiles are being held here at our EFC. We identified an issue where IRS was rejecting some 94x returns erroneously with rej 501 and 502. We have a trouble-ticket submitted to the IRS now and will resume the efile of 94x returns after that ticket is resolved.

updated 4-30-09 at 5pm--NY Partnership acks--NY notified all software companies last week that they've stopped posting Partnership acks for the short term. This includes 1065 extensions. We should know more information this week, which we will post here for our customers.

NJ 1065 efile-- We do not yet have acknowledgements from New Jersey for NJ 1065 returns. We are working with the state to get acks for these returns and ensure that all returns transmitted before the filing deadline are counted as timely-filed. If the 1065 return has fewer than 10 partners, you have the option to paper-file the return. Regardless of the number of partners, you can mail an extension request no later than April 15 as a safeguard. Fees and/or taxes must be paid by the original due date of the return. The extension is only for filing. For more information see the instructions for New Jersey Form 1065 and the state division of taxation website: http://www.state.nj.us/treasury/taxation/

updated 2-27-09-- 2007 business returns can be efiled now, year-round. We are sending the business returns to IRS, but we are manually processing some acks. 2008 acks are normally posted to you within a few hours, but 2007 acks could take 1-2 business days.

updated 1-28-09 2pm--1099 We do not accept efiles for form 1099-OID, based on a request from IRS.

The IRS had an issue with Forms 94X rejecting as stated above. It has been fixed. I file via QB and was able to retransmit yesterday and received the acceptance this morning as well as a call from the Cincinnati service center saying the problem has been fixed. If all taxes paid, grace period to 10 May.
