I wanted to provide you with an important update on the new Pro Online e-file process.
While we have been working diligently to finish the process of completely replacing the Pro Online e-file process for the 2020 tax year it has become clear that we must delay the release of the new e-file process until the 2021 tax year. We have completed the majority of the views and wired much of the backend together, however, there is still a lot of business logic we must support for all of our partners. For that reason, we have made the decision to protect the integrity and accuracy of the 2020 tax return processing season by leaving our tried and true e-file process in place for one more year. We will pick back up on the new e-file process early during 2021 to ensure and smooth and successful transition to the next generation of Pro Online e-file.
This allows us to roll out the new requirements for 1040X e-file and us to concentrate on the anticipated changes that will be required to accommodate the CARES act.
