e-file 5405 for STATES

[ACS41]

Can you e-file form 5405 at the state level through ATX?

I don't understand. Form 5405 is a federal form. If your state allows stand-alone e-filing, you can e-file the state return even though you could not file the federal due to the 5405, but that would not involve e-filing form 5405.

Thanks. In South Florida I file virtually no state returns and am not used to filing these. This particualr one has 10 state returns.

In WI, a copy of the FED always goes along with the state; so, of course, the 5404 would be included. That is an interesting question and certainly worth a try.

I am pretty sure this will work. Create a state efile and send it by itself. Then go back to the federal filing and add form 5405 and print out and mail only the federal. Since form 5405 doesn't have anything to do with State filing, I don't think it should be a problem.

the 5405 has alot to do with my state. We must reduce federal tax deduction on state by the 5405 credit

I guess I'll find out soon enough.
