How to check for delayed e-file acknowledgements

by Intuit•12• Updated about 1 hour ago

Be sure to check your e-file acknowledgments frequently to ensure you pull the acknowledgment as soon as it is available.

Before you start:

Returns are not officially delayed until they exceed the maximum processing time as defined by:

  • Federal return acknowledgements are usually available within one to three business days.
  • State return acknowledgements are usually available within two to five business days.
  • BSA acknowledgments (for Form 114) are usually available within two to five business days.
  • Department of Labor acknowledgements (for Form 5500) are usually available within one business day.
  • Returns are considered timely filed based on the time they are timestamped during the e-file transmission process, not when they are accepted.
