Jack from Ohio Posted January 5, 2013 Report Share Posted January 5, 2013 MeF Delay for Some 2012 Business Returns The IRS continues to review the details and impact of the new tax law signed this week, but a number of these provisions will require changing forms and updating our processing systems involving non-1040 business returns. As a result, electronic filing of many business returns will be delayed while we update forms, related instructions and corresponding systems. This delay is not expected to significantly impact business filers since most of these returns with reporting periods ending Dec. 31, 2012, are not due until March or April 2013, depending on the form. The IRS will not accept these business tax returns for processing through MeF at this time*: § All 2012 tax year business forms (other than Forms 2290 and 7004) § Form 8849, Schedule 3 - Certain Fuel Mixtures and the Alternative Fuel Credit § Form 990 series (Tax Exempt tax returns) Beginning Jan. 7, 2013, the IRS will accept these forms for processing through MeF: § Fiscal year returns with a year ending prior to 12/31/2012 § All 2011 tax year and 2012 fiscal year business returns, including Form 1120 series § 2012 tax year Form 2290, Heavy Highway Vehicle Use Tax Return § 2012 tax year Form 7004, Application for Automatic Extension of Time to File Certain Business Income Tax, Information and Other Returns We will share additional information on when we can accept the remaining 2012 tax year business forms as soon as it becomes available. More information will also be available soon regarding 2012 individual 1040 tax returns impacted by this week’s legislation. * Note: Business tax returns not processable through MeF at this time will also not be processed if submitted on paper.
