ADGFINANCIAL Posted February 8, 2014 Report Share Posted February 8, 2014 Got this from NATP ON 2/6/14.... SID Replaces DCN Since the IRS is retiring the IMF Legacy e-File system, and the Declaration Control Number (DCN) is not used by MeF, the DCN has been removed from the Form 8453. In addition, the DCN has been removed from the Forms 8878, 8879 and 9325, but was replaced with the Submission ID (SID). Generally, this SID number is automatically generated by your computer system upon preparing the return for e-file. However, correspondence from some software companies state you must manually enter the SID number after filing on Form 8878, 8879 or 9325 or print out new forms with the SID number entered once it has been e-filed. This is not necessarily true. You are permitted to retain the e-file acknowledgement letter along with the signed Form 8878 or 8879 in the client’s file. You are not required to enter the SID on the Form 8878, 8879 or 9325 and reprint them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jklcpa Posted February 8, 2014 Report Share Posted February 8, 2014 That's correct. We are required to associate the SID # with the signature forms in some manner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
