Marie Posted February 18, 2021 Report Share Posted February 18, 2021 Maybe discussed before, but what was the reasoning on rejects after 5 days? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abby Normal Posted February 19, 2021 Report Share Posted February 19, 2021 In my experience it seems to be 6 days. As for reasoning, the only thing I can think of is that is cuts down on the EFC having to do a reject on a return that has an outdated form in it. In practice, for the way we do things, almost every single efile will need to be recreated, and that will add up to a lot of hours over the year. And I'm always worried that when I reopen the return, that the tax return will change, due to a form update. I've been opening the PDF of the return and checking to see that the refunds or balances due match what I'm seeing on the screen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marie Posted February 19, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2021 I have the same fears as you with numbers changing before efiling. I don't do returns with clients sitting at my desk, they drop off and come back when I'm finished. Sometimes, that could be several weeks if they are out of town, or just not in a hurry. Lots of time recreating. Don't like this. Is it just ATX or all software? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Oh Bkkr Posted February 19, 2021 Report Share Posted February 19, 2021 Drake suffers from this also. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randall Posted February 19, 2021 Report Share Posted February 19, 2021 It's probably a good thing the software does. If there's a time lag, it forces us to open the return and get it updated. I do like Abby, compare to my earlier pdf return to see if there are changes. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schirallicpa Posted March 22, 2021 Report Share Posted March 22, 2021 the 5 days is driving me nuts! When did we start doing this? I get if there are updates and needs to change. But I efile a federal return on Wednesday and get around to efile the state on Monday and I have to spend how much time piddling around to create it again. grumble mumble.....grumble mumble....

Pacun Posted March 26, 2021 Report Share Posted March 26, 2021 I don't create a pdf. I get the signed 8879 and I check the refund on paper vs the one on the upper right corner of my monitor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
