I just ran an update and while the 941 did efile successfully, i received error code 17 when trying to efile the 940. Anyone else have issues with this?

Did anyone call into customer support regarding this issue?

I have not. I didn't have time to wait on hold for over an hour.  The transmittal print-issue for W-2s and 1099s also has not been resolved. I tried the email support thru HELP and had no luck. I'll try to call now. This is so stressful.

Ok, just called. They are aware of the 940 non-filing issue. Nothing said about the transmittal print issue out of IRS system. wait time is still over an hour. hung up.

I updated and still can't file 941 electronically.  I get  an error message 429: ActiveX component can't create object

Valerieb I had the same error message and so I restarted my computer again and then opened EASYAcct again and then went to E-file 941 again and it was successful that time.  Hopefully restarting will work for you too.

After the latest update, I was successful in e-filing the 941 but not the 940.  I will proceed with the 940 being a paper return.  I had hoped they would work on this over the weekend and get us a new update to fix the 940. SMH.

tried reinstalling. 940 still doesn't efile. I am still also having trouble creating the transmittal files from the IRS system. I click create and print for the transmittal and it closes the program. When I reopen, the created file appears but how can I be sure that it is correct? This is very messy this year. So frustrated. On hold as I type, wait time is now 35 minutes as opposed to over an hour.
