miatax Posted March 16, 2008 Report Share Posted March 16, 2008 Hi: Does anyone know when the drain times are? There are no IRS postmarks on my extensions, but I want to make sure that 'Validated by EFC' will have it postmarked by IRS on date of validation. Let me know... please... Thanks!

Margaret CPA in OH Posted March 18, 2008 Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 After about an hour altogether on the phone today, I was assured by Taracha that the validated date stamp will carry the day with IRS. My story (and I'm stickin' to it): 941 submitted 2.18 and validated by EFC on 2.18. With no response for days, called 3.5. Jindy said she would look into it and call back. With no response for days, called 3.8. Mandy said there was no response from EFC so Jindy didn't call as there was nothing to report. Mandy would follow up. With no response for days, called 3.13. Tabitha said Jindy would have to call me as she started the case. Tabitha would send an email to Jindy who was not in. Bottom line: EFC powers-that-be via Taracha say that the validated date will work. Good luck! With no response for days (notice a pattern here?), called 3.17. Taracha (I swear I am not making up these names), at my urgent persuasion, called a supervisor who called EFC who said the validated date stamp (in my case, Feb. 18, would be good whenever they figured out what the problem is with this puppy. I not so very kindly expressed my very real displeasure at being reminded over and over again while on hold that I could check on the internet with Taxwise.com to resolve the issue.

miatax Posted March 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 It's very frustrating. They better be right! If not, I don't want my clients to be hit with a penalty for not filing an extension on time. Is ATX going to pay for OUR time to fight late extensions? uggghhh!

miatax Posted March 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 Anyway, Let's wish for the best. I've kept records of who I spoke with also. Can't wait until we see 'Accepted' status, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
