Three attachments:

  • Attachment 1:  Dedicated to application and federal suggestions
  • Attachment 2:  Dedicated to state suggestions
    • Sorted by state
  • Attachment 3:  TaxSlayer Suggestion Status
    • Broken into status categories

Note:  Due to the extended filing season and the changes we are making to the e-file process (including, but not limited to adding the ability to e-file 1040-X) we will be adding an additional status if we need to defer an item we have originally committed to due to time constraints.  Please follow our Sneak Peek blog entries that outline the changes we are making to the E-file section.

Reminder: The suggestion box should not be used for calculation errors or software issues.  You should reach out to VITA/TCE support.

Scenario 1

Select Management Reports>>Select a Report and Run it to export.  Click Export and receive a server error

For a single site, an alternative is to Run the Full report and then export

Scenario 2

Login at the relational group level >> Select a report and select multiple EFINS…Click Export and receive a server error

At the moment, there is no alternative other than selecting one site at a time because selecting all sites automatically runs the report in “Run to Export” mode


We have put in an issue ticket with our engineers
