We received word from the Michigan Department of Treasury they are experiencing issues in sending acknowledgements. Do not worry if your site has any outstanding acknowledgements for any Michigan returns. We will update this post once MI confirms they have resolved the issue on their end.
Software vendors received the below message from Louisiana today.
“Good morning,
The Louisiana acknowledgements are delayed due to a web service issue. Once the issue is resolved, I will send out an update.“
We know there are lots of questions about the Economic Stimulus Payments, filing deadlines, changing direct deposit information, etc. We are committed to keeping you up to date with any information we receive from the IRS or other federal/state agencies.
As you service your taxpayers who are requesting their return be filed when they normally do not meet the filing requirements, please remember that the IRS MeF system will reject returns for F1040-065-04 which states that at least one of the following must have a non-zero value on Form 1040:
Software vendors received the below messaging from CO late yesterday evening. For your site(s), you can still transmit CO returns to us as normal.
“Colorado has not retrieved MeF income tax returns since mid-day Friday while a system issue is being corrected. We anticipate this stoppage will go until midnight on Wednesday, April 22nd. We apologize for the inconvenience.“
Virginia released the below information to software vendors this afternoon.
“Virginia software providers,

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.”
