We made a change to what the preparer can do with a return while it is in the status of “Transmitted”. We removed the ability to open a return and make changes to it while it is in the status of “Transmitted”
The average turn around time for federal acknowledgements is 7 to 15 minutes.
How do I correct federal returns with validation errors because they stay in the transmitted status
Navigate to Rejected Clients on the Welcome Screen and select Validation errors. A list of returns with outstanding federal validation errors will be listed. Click Select to open the return
What if the return does not show up under validation errors?
We have not received an acknowledgement from the IRS. You can still view the Client Status to see where the return is in the transmission process
What if the return is a true State Only return and there was no federal filing requirement?
We will be making a modification to the status to indicate that it is a “State Only” return (where there was no federal return filed) to allow you to open it to make corrections to state rejects.
What about my 2015 returns that have a true validation error?
We will be adding an option to allow you entry into these returns from Rejected Clients.
