EricF Posted January 17, 2020 Report Share Posted January 17, 2020 We prepared a return in 2019 and created the e-file. For various reasons, the return was not e-filed until 2020. ATX Electronic Filing Center rejected the e-filing (on the extended due date!). The explanation was that the e-file identifier contains the year created and must be filed within that year. The return with a 2019 identifier was not accepted when e-filed in 2020. We had to delete the EF form and add it back. The recreated e-file had a 2020 identifier, and it went through. Lesson learned: Don't let the time between creating the e-file and submitting the e-file stretch over the end of a year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
