joanmcq Posted February 15, 2009 Report Share Posted February 15, 2009 Last year my RDP returns efiled no problem. This year, I get an error message saying efile is not supported. Check on FTB site and I don't see anything stating RDP returns can't be efiled; in fact the RPD & SSMC worksheets are forms available for efile. So is this ATX or what? This will suck if I have to paper file all my RDPs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David1980 Posted February 15, 2009 Report Share Posted February 15, 2009 It would appear to be ATX. I looked through the California 1346 and while there's a lot of small changes (updated fields/formatting) there's no real big changes and they still accept RDP returns electronically. I can't fathom why ATX would discontinue the support for RDP returns, as none of the changes were that large. Sure would be nice if error messages indicated "The tax software doesn't support efiling this" versus "The state / IRS doesn't support efiling this." I think almost universally all software tries to give a generic "not supported" message so that you don't know if it's a program weakness or the state/IRS, but it is sure annoying.

joanmcq Posted February 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2009 Yes, I had no problems with the efile last year, and with CA's efile requirements, this really sucks. Especially since SSMC/RDPs are a large and growing area of my practice and I efile everyone. Now I have a possible disadvantage to my competitors too.

David1980 Posted February 15, 2009 Report Share Posted February 15, 2009 I wonder if TaxWise supports it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joanmcq Posted February 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 I emailed ATX and they said they have no idea why it won't efile. Sent them the return, so hopefully they will figure it out and fix it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
