Software vendors received the below messaging from New Hampshire Department of Revenue.

“Good morning,

During the annual meeting with the NACTP group on August 27^th I mentioned that New Hampshire would need to take down our MeF production services while we cutover to our new Revenue Information Management System (RIMS). Those dates will be September 25^th 2020 through October 12^th 2020. It is important to note that taxpayers will see a delay in their ACH payments being pulled from their bank account during this time period. Once the services are turned back on, all pending submissions will process as of the submission date, and confirmation emails will be sent at that time.“

Update August 4, 2020: With this mornings deploy, the issue with MO sporadically loading blank should be resolved.

Update July 31, 2020:  We are continuing to work to resolve the issue with sporadic MO returns that will not open.  Our updated resolution time frame will be the week of August 3rd.

We have received sporadic reports of some MO returns not loading within the TaxSlayer Pro Online application. We have opened Issue 4997 as a High Priority for development to investigate/resolve. We expect impacted returns to be resolved in a deployment next week.

We received the below messaging from Utah. During this period, no acknowledgements will be issued.

“Greetings from Utah,

Utah’s production MeF environment will be down for scheduled maintenance 7:00 am (MDT) Thursday, July 23 through 9:00 am (MDT) Friday, July 24. We will resume processing MeF files when maintenance has been completed.“

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.“
