We will be enabling the ability to “Send State Only” returns on Wednesday, January 31st.
What should the Federal Return type be when selecting “Send State Only”
The federal return type must be elected with an E-file option. The federal return WILL NOT be resent, as long as you have the “Send State Only” box marked.
Where to I transmit a “State Only” return from if the IRS Return is accepted?
If the Federal Return has already been accepted, you will use the Send button located on the Submission screen in the e-file section.
My Federal is accepted and my state is rejected, what should I do?
Wait until we enable the “Send State Only” feature. DO NOT resend the federal return in an effort to go ahead and resend the state return, this will generate an IRS reject for duplicate return.
