Intuit Electronic Filing Center

The Intuit Electronic Filing Center in now available. (It had been unavailable from October 26, 2006 - November 13, 2006, so we could prepare the system for tax year 2006.)

Tax Year 2005 Individual Returns

You can no longer electronically file any tax year 2005 individual returns.

Tax Year 2005 Business Returns

You can transmit tax year 2005 federal corporation and S corporation returns. You can also transmit tax year 2005 California corporation returns, as well as tax year 2004 and 2005 Michigan single business tax returns, and Massachusetts corporation, S corporation, partnership, and fiduciary returns.

Important Note: The IRS has announced that the IRS Modernized e-file (MeF) production system for federal corporation and S corporation returns will be closed for annual filing season updates beginning Thursday, December 28, 2006 at 11:00 a.m. (ET). After December 28, 2006, only acknowledgments for returns sent prior to the IRS shutdown will be available until the IRS Modernized e-file system reopens on January 8, 2007.

ProSeries users may continue to transmit business returns during this time; however, these returns will not be sent to the IRS for processing until the IRS reopens on January 8, 2007. ProSeries will hold these returns and send them to the IRS when it reopens. Acknowledgements for all returns filed during this period will be delayed until the IRS resumes processing on January 8, 2007. 

Tax Year 2006 ProSeries Express and Bank Products Software

The Intuit Electronic Filing Center is also available to receive bank product registrations (Z records), after you've installed your tax year 2006 software.

Beginning at 12:01 a.m. (PT) on December 29, 2006, the system will begin processing Early RAL/RT Advances for ProSeries Express.

Tax Year 2006 Corporation, S Corporation, and Partnership Returns

The Intuit Electronic Filing Center will be available to begin electronic filing of tax year 2006 Corporation, S Corporation, and Partnership tax returns by January 17, 2007. It will be necessary to download updates before you will be able to file these returns electronically. We anticipate that the updates (v2006.01) for these 2006 business products will be available online by January 17, 2007.

Tax Year 2006 Individual Returns

On January 12, 2007, the IRS 2007 e-file program for filing tax year 2006 individual returns begins. The Intuit Electronic Filing Center is ready to begin receiving electronically filed Tax Year 2006 Individual tax returns.
