4/10/23 – Latest from Utah.

Good afternoon,

As of this morning, all submissions received prior to today (4/10) have been acknowledged. Please contact me if you are waiting on an acknowledgement from Utah.


4/4/23 – Latest from Utah.

Utah is still having trouble acknowledging approximately 1,200 MeF submissions. As previously mentioned, in most cases the returns have been accepted and processed but we have not sent an acknowledgement.

We have resolved the underlying issue to prevent it from reoccurring. We are investigating sending acknowledgments for the remaining 1,200 files. My tech team does not have an estimate on when this will be resolved.

We are expanding our state perfection period to 40 days to allow any returns that were rejected by the state to be corrected and resubmitted as timely filed.


Software vendors received the below message from Utah yesterday evening.

Utah is experiencing an issue sending acknowledgements to the IRS for some returns. This happened first on 3/17, then 3/23 through to today. In most cases the returns have been accepted and processed but not acknowledged. We are working to get acknowledgements sent on all Utah submissions. I’ll send a follow up email when this issue has been resolved.
