Jack from Ohio Posted February 2, 2014 Report Share Posted February 2, 2014 I note a series of letters on my Document Control Numbers. Something new or mine defective? New process by the IRS this year. All is well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taxxcpa Posted February 2, 2014 Report Share Posted February 2, 2014 The IRS has replaced the DCN with the SID. If you look at your 8879s and 9325s, you may find that the form indicates that the number is the SID but is still in DCN format. Using Drake, the DCN appears on both the 8879 and the 9325. You can go to the EF data base and look the SIDs up one at a time, but there is an easier way. You can go to Reports and create a report under EF and Bank Products. The report can include the client name, Federal SID and State SID. The report can be exported to Excel, and at the end of the tax season or any time in between, you can print the Excel worksheet.Unless a client asks for the SID, it is not too likely that you will actually need this, but to be on the safe side, I'll print the report after tax season and keep it for a few years.Hopefully all software companies will provide some means of doing this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
