Receiving Acknowledgments for Business Returns

Desktop · Written guide Content date 1 min read

When you transmit business returns, after the returns have finished being processed any available acknowledgments from previous transmissions will be picked up automatically. There are times, however, when you will want to receive acknowledgements before the next business return is ready to be e-filed.

To receive acknowledgements without transmitting returns, from the Quick Menu of Tax Processors Plus Desktop select:

  • Business
  • Electronic Filing Menu
  • Receive Acknowledgements - In the Tax Processors Plus Desktop Communications window, click Connect.
  • The messages in the window will indicate if any acknowledgements are being received. When you are prompted to exit, select Exit.
  • If the Print Reports menu has double arrows (>>) beside it, select it, then select any report category that also has double arrows to print the report.

The IRS and State Acknowledgment reports will show the status of each return, whether accepted or rejected, and returns that have been rejected will also show the reason for the rejection.

Scrutinize every report, looking for problems that need resolution.
