Update from NC DOR – 3/1/2022

NCDOR is proud to announce that our MeF system for IIT is now open for eFile.

Although we are open, please note that we are working through a significant backlog and hope to have all submissions acknowledged within the next few days.

Note: If a return gets this reject – NCD400-1160.  Rejected Submission provided in StateSubmissionIdOrig is not found in System, all you need to do is resubmit the NC return.


Update from NC DOR – 2/16/2022

NC DOR released an update to software vendors indicating they expect to begin processing returns (sending acknowledgements) the week of February 28th. As NC works to process their backlog to send acknowledgements, it is possible you may receive an accepted ack and a rejected ack for a duplicate submission. The rejected ack for a duplicate submission can be ignored if an accepted acknowledgement was also received.


Due to recently enacted legislation impacting North Carolina tax returns, North Carolina will most likely not be ready to begin accepting e-files when the IRS opens on January 24th. Software vendors, including TaxSlayer, are now actively testing their software with North Carolina for the appropriate approvals. At this time, North Carolina returns can be prepared in our software, however, when accessing the e-file menu, you will encounter an e-file block for North Carolina. This block will be removed as the appropriate approvals are received.
