Where can I find state efiling authorization in ProSeries?

[poolcleaner · Accepted solution]

You need to check the box on the Information page showing that you are efiling the particular state.  When you are in the forms list for the appropriate you should be able to find the page of the client's signature.  It is different for many states so there is no one hard fast rule.

and some states don't even have a signature page....but they all have EF Instructions in the forms list to tell you one way or the other.

I am trying to file a Georgia return by efile. When I go to the state return and check the box, it says authorize it in the ProSeries Federal information. I can't find where to do that. The Georgia return is not showing up in EFile Center.

It should be in Part VI of the Information page.

The Information page is part of the federal return not the state return but it is where you check the box!

The answer about Part VI got it.  Thanks all.

The acknowledgement that it was accepted?  Highlight the State return in the EFCenter, then hit F12 and choose the Acknowledgment, Print.

Why a negative response for a correct answer?

maybe its not correct....I wasn't really sure what an "authorization" is....if they mean the signature pages to authorize the preparer to efile the return, those should appear automatically in the return when its marked for Efile….so it wouldn't seem like someone would be asking about that.
