How do I determine if intuit has submitted my 2017 tax returnt to the IRs?

[Martacat]

Intuit has received my year 2017 form 1120 returns, but IRS has not sent approval or rejection.  How do I know if Intuit has submitted the returns to the IRS?  It has been over a week.

How do you think you submitted them? Business efile shut down Dec 26.

[mojocpa]

you beat me.

[Martacat]

Is the business efile shut down because of the government shutdown?

[Martacat]

These returns were on extension and because of Hurricane Florence, they are not due until 1/31/19.  Can I still use business efile to submit the year 2017 returns?

The shutdown is the annual maintenance shutdown.  Does your e-file homebase show the returns as received by Intuit?

[garman22]

yeah, i thought Intuit wouldnt accept ANY efiled returns during the maintenance period?

Try this link. I believe it states to file by paper for those that were affected by Hurricane Florence.

Does "business" filings mean 1099s and W-2s? Or corporations, partnerships etc.? Also, I need to order a 1099-Div, not sure if the IRS will answer the phone during the govt shut-down?

Business filings open tomorrow, so maybe Intuit is now taking them to hold until tomorrow.  There is a good chance you will get a notification tomorrow or the next day.

business?! Oooops, i thought was individual. Guess I should've read a little better.:open_mouth:

[mojocpa]

My suspicion is that the are not being transmitted because the IRS e-file is shut down until later this month.

[sjrcpa]

But would PreoSeries even accept them? Lacerte won't.

ProSeries sent me a message that the returns had been received by Intuit.
