Resource Center Posted on by

Important Note! The IRS MeF System for Individual 1040 Returns remains closed and an open date has not yet been officially announced by the IRS. We will share that information with our partners as soon as the announcement is made.

To our Valued Partners:

As previously shared and effective today, Thursday, January 12 at 9:00 AM ET, the IRS Modernized e-File (MeF) System for Federal Business Returns is now open for e-Filing and our Central Site is accepting the following returns: 

  • 1120 – Corporation Income Tax Return
  • 1120-S – S Corporation
  • 1065 – Partnership Income
  • 1041 – Estates and Trusts
  • 990 – Tax-Exempt Organizations

If you already have the 2023 Business Package, TY2022 returns and two prior years can be e-filed on January 12. In addition, for partners who were unable to transmit prior to the Business MeF shutdown on December 26, 2022 and pick-up ACKS for already e-Filed TY2021 business returns, you will be able to transmit and retrieve those ACKs (using your 2022 business software program for TY2021).

Software Version Reminder: 

  • The 2023 Federal Corporate Business Program (for preparing TY2022 business returns) was released on December 20, 2022 and is currently at Version 2023.01. Be sure you transmit often, especially at this time of the tax season, to ensure you are always at the latest software version before preparing and/or transmitting returns for your clients.
