Software vendors received the below message from Maine Revenue Services.
“As a reminder, Maine is performing an upgrade to our internal software which will be completed in 1 to 2 years. As we have done in prior years for Corporate and Pass-Through, processing will be put on hold for 1040ME and 1041ME.
The last day we will pull 1040ME and 1041ME returns from the IRS will be Thursday September 14th, 2023. Those returns will post (if they pass our validations) on Friday September 15th, 2023. Any returns received at the IRS after Thursday September 14th, 2023 will NOT be picked up from the IRS or processed until Tuesday October 10th, 2023. ACK’s will not be sent for those returns received after Thursday September 14th, 2023 until we resume processing on Tuesday October 10th, 2023.
One additional item, due to transferring from our current legacy system to our new system all other MeF services (1120, 941P) will be affected from Thursday October 5th at 12:01am until the morning of Tuesday October 10th. Returns can be submitted, but will not be retrieved from the IRS until our system is back up and running on October 10th.
We apologize for any inconvenience and delay in processing this may cause. If you have any questions please contact us.“
