bstaxes Posted September 22, 2010 Report Share Posted September 22, 2010 I have been e-filing for awhile and I thought I had to push the button to send the return. After reading a comment on first time efiling, it seems that a data entry clerk can send the efile. I believe the person who wrote that. I can remember, I think (old age you know), in a course I took long time ago someone else saying that their clerk pushed the button after they had the check and the 8879. Could someone please reconfirm this so I can have some free time to do returns this season. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneInAlabama Posted October 3, 2010 Report Share Posted October 3, 2010 I am a one horse operation and don't have anyone to push the button for me, but I don't see that it matters who actually transmits the return as long as the one who prepared the return signs the 8879. How could the IRS possibly enforce such a rule if they required the preparer to be the one to actually transmit the return? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the time I check to see if the return will e-file according to the tax software, the button pushing is not a time-consuming task. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
