e filing 7004

[grandmabee]

first year to efile 7004 usually just mail. Does it take longer to get acks on 7004? I sent yesterday morning but nothing yet. Should I just mail to be on the safe side. Do 7004 ever get rejected?

thanks

Yes, the 7004 does get rejected if there is a mismatch between the name & EIN with what the IRS has on file. Then you will have to paper file.

I have extended all my corporations and the acceptances came back very quickly. Only one was refjected for the mismatch and I paper filed that.

They do tend to take a little longer, as they do not drain the 7004s as often as the 1040s. But we should get a bunch of acks on Monday. If it does not go through by noon, Monday, then you can mail them.

Hmmm...I'm still waiting on a bunch I filed on 03/14 - should I be panicking? If the get rejected I hope if I mail them with a copy of the rejection notice that they will be accepted. I haven't got any acks back on any 7004's yet.

Same here. 17 7004s e-filed on 3/14 and no acks for any of them. I have received acks for 1040s though.

Updated 03-15-10: Missing acknowledgments – We are currently working with the IRS to clear up some outstanding acknowledgments for business e-files that were submitted over the past 3 days. All outstanding items have been identified and a trouble-ticket submitted to the IRS to have the acknowledgments re-posted.

If you can see your business e-file in the Return Query/Return Status tool on the Support site (but it does not have an acceptance or rejection date), you can assure your clients the returns are time stamped and will be considered timely filed.

Once the IRS re-posts the acknowledgment file, you will receive your acknowledgment, and the status on the Support site will be updated.

Updated 03-12-10: Extension acknowledgments – Acknowledgments for extension e-files may take up to 48 hours from the time the returns are drained to be processed, especially as March 15 approaches. If less than 48 hours have passed since your business extensions were

Yes, I saw that posting on the "official" site. We had 10 extensions that were submitted last Friday and have not been accepted yet. We sent the 7004's in the mail on Monday. Better two extensions than no extensions, with a $189 penalty a month now.
