ProSeries indicates they will start accepting efiled returns today 01/28/21. However, the e-signature is not processing. Anyone else encountered this?

Just recapping for google/historical purposes:

I believe csanchez's issue was resolved - there was some sort of conflict with their existing docusign account and what email it was associated with.

Im not sure its actually been implemented yet.

Suppose to be an update today for it....but someone else mentioned an update error they got, so Im not sure whats happening.

I havent seen any posts by someone saying that Efiling was working....usually you see at least a few of these!

eSignatures have been processing since the product was released (for example, some folks get signatures for engagement letters).

What specific problem are you encountering? For example,

Does it say you have a 0 balance, when you should have plenty (or unlimited)?
Are you not able to request an eSignature period in ProSeries?
Are you getting to this screen, but it's blocking you?
Are you getting all the way through the request widget, but you are getting some sort of error? If so, can you detail the exact error (screen shots are ideal)

I am getting the screen you displayed. I originally received the e-signature screen, but when I viewed the document, I realized it was not correct, so I hit cancel. When I try to hit request, I am getting the message that I do not have any more and need to purchase, but I still have the initial 5 available on the dashboard. I then close it and retry and I get the screen you displayed. If I select continue, no documents load.

Short answer: If Tools -> Options -> Electronic Filing -> Only Transmit Returns when Status is Set to "Return Ready to EF", then that logic is applied as well to whether or not an eSignature can be obtained on a return.

Honestly, I didn't even know about that setting. I'm not sure it makes sense to me why we're enforcing that flag for eSignature on the request. If it's there to prevent folks from accidentally eFiling... seems like you wouldn't want to accidentally eFile while you're waiting for the signature. I'm looking into it.

I agree 100% that the "Only Transmit Returns when set to "Return Ready to EF" option shouldn't be applied to using eSignature. Makes no sense.
