e-file 1096

[HV Ken]

We are interested in e-filing the 1096 this year.

ATX appears to generate the e-file, but there is no signature page (e.g. 8879 for 1040) ?

If we are already approved for e-filing personal and corporate returns, are we also then approved for e-filing 1096 returns ? Or is there an additional application required ? Form 4419 seems to be specific to the organization on the 1096 and not to the ERO...?

I guess basically I am asking how does this process work ? What are the steps ?

Thanks for any assistance!

I do not specifically have an answer to your question, but can tell you we have efiled 1099s of varying types along with 1096 for the past few years without any snags, keeping good records of course. To allow release of that same information to Pennsylvania we have Form 6847 on file for each client. Those are easily faxed to 1-877-477-0572.

Thanks for your reply, E. I did eventually find some ATX instructions in the 1096 - Filing Info tab. These instructions match your experience, including the 6847; as well as addressing the 4419 question.
