Connecticut has resolved their issue with the IRS. CT e-files can resume at this time. If you have any CT returns rejected with Reject Code: Rule Number – State-001, they can be resubmitted at this time.

Software vendors received the below message from Connecticut.
“It appears that the IRS is rejecting all Connecticut Returns for the reason of: IRS ERROR MESSAGE: The agency to which a State Submission is filed must participate in the Fed/State program. Connecticut has contacted the IRS to figure out what is causing these rejects. Until this issue is resolved, Connecticut is recommending that you do not submit any MeF submissions to Connecticut. I will send out an email once this issue has been resolved.”
Note: At this time, we have turned off the ability to e-file CT returns per CT guidance.
