What do you mean you re-filed?  Are you saying you amended or superseded the return?

In answer to your question, open the file and look for Form 9325.  That shows the e-file acceptance information.

Another thing you can look at is when on Homebase, single-click the client, then RIGHT click the client file to get the option to view the e-file history.  

I canot understand why you cant prove that the tax return was filed and accepted. You should have q copy of the retur and infact it is the aw that that you keep a copy for 3 years after the doo date. And with pro series you get a reply that the return was accepted and on what date it was accepted and there is your proof. If the tax return was not ever mark accepted    then action should have been taken a long time ago.I donot aim to offend [Removed]

the problem seems to have occurred when the file was copied and resubmitted ( as advised by Intuit). The re-filing seems to have deleted the original electronic filing information. [Removed]

Thank you for your reasonable response!

Thank you. 

Many responses sided with me. I go out of my way to show appreciation for veitnam Veterns, My response to you had nothing to do with your time in Vietnam. I have met many veterans over the years and I am going to say the samething to you that I have said to them 

Thank you for your service to our country.

Mr Cooley is up in years and just recently retired from his tax preparation business.  He was in the first graduating class from Yale.  He also proudly served his country in the Revolutionary war and came back to proudly serve under General Grant in the Civil War. He tried to serve his country during World War I but couldn't pass his physical due to his wooden leg.  The wooden leg was the result of a cannonball shattering his leg at Gettysburg.  Due to his age and service history we all accept when he sometimes loses some of his filtering abilities when he posts here.

ditto on Peacemaker Ironman, but to add my 2cents.  Mental illness is a strong label to throw around, either just for not checking efile verification, but also on a client without a diagnosis of narcissism personality disorder (NPD), as Google AI told me.  If a client is upset because the IRS says it wasn't filed, no big deal, you prove it was.  Dr Rob wanted to "retrieve a record for both the original filing attempt..."   Is there some reason the IRS has no record of it, possible the return was efiled and rejected originally?  Hope Dr Rob closes the case and doesn't mind obliging our curiosity!  (Curiosity is not a CPD I hope!) 

You are wrong on all counts. The p-roblem I have is I have not been drinking enough fireball

way too much personal info on the client and not enough information on the tax filing. You should not have been able to e-file the return a second time. If it was filed and accepted you would have received a reject notice that the return was on file. If you did not receive that and the 2nd filing was accepted then the original return was not efiled or not accepted. The accept/reject is from the IRS system. Also the fact that they got notices saying not filed also leads to an issue with the original return. From the efile homebase you can get the efiling history. 

To me it sounds like you efiled and it was rejected and you didn't see it - or you thought you efiled it and you missed it. I've done that - looked at the efiles the next day and say HEY they were here yesterday and signed why didn't I efile? Now I count the efile forms and I make sure I am efiling the same number of files. Stuff happens. Say sorry, efile it and offer to pay the interest.
