Software vendors received the below message from AL this morning (1/30/23). If you have any impacted returns do not resubmit until this post has been updated.
“Good Afternoon, Industry Partners,
We have discovered returns that should not be rejecting for MFS and Standard Deduction. This issue is being corrected. I will let you know when it has been resolved.”
1/25/2023 – LA returns can now be electronically filed at this time. If your site previously received a LA Reject for “vendor not approved”, those returns can be resubmitted at this time.
LA returns have temporarily been turned off for e-file. This article will be updated once LA e-file has been turned back on. You can still prepare LA returns in the program and e-file Federal and other state returns. Once LA is available for e-file, sites will need to go into each return and file LA as state only.
E-filing prior year returns is now live. The IRS allows the current + 2 prior years for electronic file. For this filing season, this means 2022, 2021, and 2020 Federal returns can be electronically filed. Most states with the exception of Rhode Island also allow prior year state e-files.
Send State Only has been activated. Remember, you must select an e-file option for the Federal Return Type.
You must transmit state only returns from the Submission page. They WILL NOT show up on the Transmission menu
OH recently experienced an issue where they issued Reject Code OH-IT1040-136 in error. If your site has any OH returns with this reject code they can be resubmitted at this time. If the Federal return was previously accepted, please resubmit the OH return as State Only.
Update from NY: 1/31/2023
We would like to follow up on when the fix for the R0123 reject is expected to take place. We are looking to get this implemented by the end of this week or early next week.
R0123 “Earned Income Credit claimed on IT-201/IT-203 not = IT-215 or credit form is missing”. This issue would only impact returns that have a filing status of Married Filing Separate.
Update from NY: 1/27/23
We are reaching out to provide you the updated date of when we expect to be fully open. That date is now Monday 1/30/23.
Software vendors received the below message from NY this morning. Impacted NY returns can be resubmitted on Friday the 27th.
We would like to bring to attention that we have discovered an issue in two of our rejects and expect to have fixes in place by Friday 1/27.
We have turned on the ability to electronically file current year returns.
We strongly recommend you open and review each return prior to sending it electronically. All returns sent to us on Friday during the Controlled Launch window have been sent and acknowledged by the IRS.
1/23/2023 10:45am ET: This has now been resolved.
We wanted to make you aware of an issue that will impact, as of this morning (1/23/2023), returns with a future date selected for direct debits. Currently, you can select a future direct debit date in e-file, however, what is reflecting on the PDF is the current date. This means that returns submitted with a direct debit payment method, the current date will be sent with the return instead of the future date selected. Our developers are actively looking into this issue.
Note: This only impacts returns as of 7:00am ET on Monday, January 23rd if an amount is owed and a future direct debit date is selected.
