Update 01/30/2019

This has been resolved, however you will need to send the states back as “State Only” returns.

How do I identify the returns?

  1. Click on the Rejects button (next to the Messages button)
  2. Select Validations from the drop down menu

Selecting the rejected link will display the following validation error

You can now click the green Select button next to the return.

Navigate to the e-file section

Select the Send State Only box

Read and click the Warning.  (remember, the federal return must be selected with an e-file option, but it will not resend)

Click Save  on the e-file page to advance to the submission page

Click select on the Save and Transmit Returns button

Select Main Menu to return to the welcome page

You will need to repeat these steps for each return with the state validation error.


Update 01/29/2019 

The following two states have been identified as not correctly receiving the SIDN from the federal return:

  • RI
  • WI

We estimate having having a fix for this deployed on Wednesday, January 30th.

—————————————————————————————————————————————–

The following list of states is not correctly receiving the SIDN from the federal return:

  • AR
  • ID
  • KS
  • MD
  • ME
  • NY
  • OK
  • VT
  • WV

What does this mean?

We need to update the state program to accept the SIDN from the federal return.  Once we do this, we will notify you of the next steps.  These did not pass validation to go with the federal return.
