No Comments
4/20/2020 – 11:15am ET: Development was able to find and resolve the issue and the fix is live in production. Any Federal direct debit returns with a future date past the current date can be transmitted at this time.
We have received a report for one instance where the future direct debit date appears to be wrong on the return transmitted after the original 4/15 deadline. We are currently investigating this in Issue 4815. When you quality review the return, please be sure to review the PDF, specifically the Client Forms Listing Summary as shown below. This is where  you can verify the direct debit date prior to electronically filing the return.  If the date is not what you expected, please do not e-file the return until this post has been updated.

Message from New York: Extended Deadline to 7/15/2020 (UPDATE)

4/9/2020

Software vendors received the below messaging from New York this afternoon. They state they can begin accepting New York returns with direct debit dates scheduled to process after 4/15/2020 on Monday, April 13th.

“NYS has completed its testing of the Extended due dates.  The code will be in our production environment tomorrow Friday 4/10/2020.  We ask that you hold off from submitting your files until Monday 4/13/2020, so that we may ensure the code migrated correctly on our end.”

Software vendors received the below messaging from New York this morning. Their MeF system is not currently able to process payments received with a Direct Debit Date past 4/15/2020. For any taxpayers wishing to make a payment with their New York return past 4/15/2020, we recommend holding these returns until this post has been updated. We recommend using Return Tags to help identify impacted returns at your site(s).

“Submissions with ACH request dates after 4/15/2020. This change has not been implemented in production yet so any return received with an ACH request date past 4/15/2020 will be processed on 4/15/2020. We will send a follow up email to all developers when we are able to properly process these submissions and can warehouse payments out until 7/15/2020.”
