Lion EA Posted March 22, 2013 Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 Does TN require a separate signature form from the federal Form 8879? CT does not; NY does; etc.; so thought I'd better ask. I don't see anything comparable to Form 8879 in the TN section of my software. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack from Ohio Posted March 22, 2013 Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 uhmmmm.... TN doesn't have a state income tax? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RitaB Posted March 22, 2013 Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 Yes, we do on dividends and some forms of interest. We don't e-file Form TN INC-250 yet. Or, if we do, I am not up to speed. Would not be the first time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lion EA Posted March 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 Oh oh. My software said he was qualified to efile TN. If I have to mail it to client, I'd better get on the stick. And, yes, this is a kid with dividends on investment income contributed by his grandfather who's my friend in CT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lion EA Posted March 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 Well, my first glitch in seven years with ProSystem fx. The return says TN has qualified for e-filing. But, when I call CCH (by the way, they answer the phone immediately for Pro fx !!) they tell me no e-filing for that TN form. Gotta email the daddy back to tell him I'm mailing them a TN return to sign and mail to TN. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Taxed Posted March 22, 2013 Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 when I call CCH (by the way, they answer the phone immediately for Pro fx !!) I think the point is made! You get what you pay for! ATX and Taxwise are at the bottom for CCH. I will not be surprised if in a few years one of them dies slowly and painfully! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lion EA Posted March 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 The Tennessee Department of Revenue is now accepting Individual Income Tax returns for tax year 2012 through the IRS Modernized E-File program (MEF). This partnership between states and the Internal Revenue Service allows tax preparers to include the state tax return and any associated payment with its electronically filed federal return. The Department of Revenue will accept Individual Income Tax (INC250) and Application for Extension of Time to File (INC251). Click here for a list of current certified vendors. You must first select the certified software vendor from whom you will obtain the software that will be used to file the electronic return. Once a vendor has been selected, you must contact the vendor and arrange to use the vendor's software. You will also, at this time, determine if you will file your return and payment at the same time using the vendor's software or if you will file the return only and pay using the new income payment voucher form (INC253). If you have any questions, please contact the Electronic Commerce Unit: Statewide toll-free (866) 368-6374; Nashvile-area and out-of-state (615) 253-0704. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lion EA Posted March 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 Just had my first TN e-file accepted. Not bad for a CT yankee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RitaB Posted March 26, 2013 Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 Congratulations! I figure I would rather paper file all ten of mine, since they are two pages, no federal attachment, rather than calling my software vendor. But you are a brave woman. Maybe next year.

Lion EA Posted March 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 And, the proud grandfather (money manager who funded his grandson's account) sent me a picture of his eight-year-old grandson signing his first tax return. Priceless! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
