The efile finally cleared this morning. Less than 4 days but over 2...

Any body have delays with New York State efiles for non-residents?

I am spoiled because it's over 24 hours since submission.

I don't ask anymore.

I don't post very much, but I do read the ATX Community Forum very day during tax season to see what is going on.

Just last week there was an issue I had been dealing with and there on the forum was the issue with just the information and the references to clarify the situation.

Thanks for this Forum, Eric.

To George M

Yes. efiled last Monday, deposited today.

I can't print the acks for accepted 1040 returns..anybody else having that problem, No problem in printing acks for 94x.

How do you handle the 2.7% charge from square? Do you take care of the charge yourself or let the customer pay thru a add-on?

Yes.

Just updated the status for the 94x...all " transmitted to agency"

and the 940 is not approved.

I just downloaded the 94x EF file form, but got a message that the 941 is not approved.. Are you finding the same?

Important News About E-filing Dates
For Forms 94x and Form 1041

The IRS has announced that the official opening day for e-filing has been revised for the following types of forms:

• Forms 94x filed on the MeF (Modernized E-file) platform – e-filing will start on January 26, 2014
• Form 1041 – e-filing will start on January 31, 2014

According to Rob Bedoya, Director e-File Services, IRS:
"The IRS will begin processing 94x payroll tax returns through the Modernized e-File (MeF) platform on January 26. MeF provides a number of benefits compared to the legacy system. Although the IRS will not start processing 94x returns through MeF until January 26, companies will begin taking in these returns earlier and will transmit them to the IRS beginning on January 26. We are confident that all MeF 94x returns will be timely processed before the fourth quarter and annual due date."

The SFS Electronic Filing Center (EFC) will begin accepting these return types later this month. We will hold all returns at the EFC until the IRS begins accepting them.

In order to e-file your tax returns, you must have the appropriate program version and your returns must include the latest EF Info form.

We appreciate your patience and encourage you to watch your tax software in-app notifications for e-file news and updates throughout tax season.

That's my reading also. Agree with TAXED.

I am reading this differently than ADG Financial: I copied this from the website....I have to register(as before) but I only prepare 3 NY returns, I don't have to pay until I do 10 or more.

How do you read this?

In general, you must register if you:

• are paid to prepare at least one New York State return in calendar year 2014 as a tax return preparer, or
• help to issue or administer a refund anticipation loan or refund anticipation check.

You must pay a $100 registration fee if you are a commercial tax return preparer:

• paid to prepare 10 or more New York State tax returns in calendar year 2013, and will be paid to prepare at least one tax return in calendar year 2014; or
• will be paid to prepare 10 or more tax returns in calendar year 2014.

Last week I was called by a Intuit rep asking "what would it take to switch from ATX to ProSeries software for the next Tax Season.

I asked how did you know that I used ATX last season. Oh, I got it from the IRS. It is public record.

Then I asked "Did you pay for that information" Yes, but it wasn't much.

Anybody else getting these calls?

Is it public record?

Thanks for sharing.

Upgraded to Win 7 this summer and haven't regreted it. Working great.

Very interesting thread. Haven't ever had this situation. It is good we have this board to refer to as I am a one person shop and sometimes need other opinions and references. thanks for helping Catherine.

I got a call last week about signing up for ATX. I told the agent that I am looking at other options, such as Drake. He wouldn't sweeten the price while I was on the call. Of course, he promised that this new software was going to be great compared to the 2012. I did not sign up.

But I am following you guys who are beta testing....and looking forward to you postings.

Thanks, I will tackle 12.18 tomorrow.

OK, I have upgraded my computer and installed windows 7, I have a stand alone system.

How is 12.18 working now. I am still at 12.15.

I am assuming it is working fairly well as no postings since June 27th.

I have a bunch of returns to do and everything is working well now, but.....

I have a New Mexico in transmitted status since early Sat morning.

Filed 17 extensions this a.m. The most I have ever had. Most people didn't have their stuff together or didn't bring the stuff until last week.

Updated yesterday. No problems,
