EFILING NJ RETURN

[CHERYL0322]

I prepared a MFS NJ state return for the TP.  The MFJ 1040 return (TP is primary SSN) had already been accepted.  When I transmitted the NJ return, I received an e-file status notice that the federal return was accepted...without my transmission of the return!  The E-file Client Status History confirms that the return was not transmitted.  It was never in a Ready to EF status.  Has anyone had this problem?  Calling ProSeries this morning for help.

You sure it wasnt just the Federal MFJ return acknowledgement that popped up again?

Lisa: I spoke to Intuit and was informed that only one 1040 was reflected as submitted.  So maybe the acknowledgement looked like the MFS TP because ProSeries based the acceptance on the TP SSN.  Looks like I am Ok.  Thanks.

Sounds like you got it right. When I’ve done it in the past, i File the NJ MFS return first ,  then file the MFJ . It doesn’t confuse Intuit error checking routines.
