Ray in Ohio Posted February 27, 2008 Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 I have never e-filed 1099s before and really need to do a few yet. I imput and printed the paper copies for recipient and client. Then I hit hte "efile" button at the top expecting a signature page or some other form would be needed in order for it to e-file. No forms popped up and the efiles were created with only the 1096 and the 1099. Am I missing something? If it is really this easy, I want my time back that I spent on 30+ other companies I printed and MAILED 1099s this year. I just can't believe that it's this easy. I hope someone can enlighten me :scratch_head: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Margaret CPA in OH Posted February 27, 2008 Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 It IS that easy. What is difficult is getting the acknowledgements! See the various comments/complaints including mine. I've had 6 accepted and another 6 validated going back to Jan. 30. I have been assured that they have been accepted by IRS but have not proof. The acks have to be manually posted or something. Tomorrow I think I will print out and mail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray in Ohio Posted February 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 Thanks Margaret. Blows my mind. Why have I been printing and mailing till now???????? I had read the posts with the acks not coming back. >>Tomorrow I think I will print out and mail<< Are you sure this is a good idea? If the IRS has recieved them, but ATX has issues with returning the ACKs, would this cause problems with the IRS if they recieve a duplicate copy of previously filed forms? Possibly create a whole lot of correcting etc to do later. <just wondering> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lydia33 Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 Super Simple. I got my ack. back a couple of weeks ago. Best way to go. :rolleyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Margaret CPA in OH Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 Ray in Ohio I am not sure it's a good idea for the 6 ATX says are accepted but I am really nervous about the other ones. The potential penalties weigh a bit heavier on my mind than the letters needing a response. I really don't quite know exactly what to do.

MontanaEA Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 Margaret, I made this same inquiry to tech support yesterday. I was reminded by Josh in tech support that the employer's copies don't have to be filed before MARCH 31st if e-filed. I didn't know that. So, I guess we've got a little more time to get these e-filed 1099's ironed out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
