How does electronic filing work?
After you’ve entered or imported all data into your 1099 Pro software, created your upload file, and transmitted it to us by your appointment date, the following happens: • A “control totals” report will automatically print from the software, for each Filer and form type. • If the “control totals” report accurately reflects the data you transmitted, you’ll sign the report and fax it to us. • We will then submit your data electronically to the IRS via the FIRE System. • Once we receive notification from the IRS, we will email you to confirm receipt and acceptance of your data by the IRS. Printing, Mailing and Filing forms doesn’t get any easier than that!
Electronic filing is a partnership with Oklahoma and the IRS to allow the filing of both federal and state income tax returns electronically at the same time. The electronic filing software places your federal and state return data in separate packets. These packets are transmitted to the IRS in one taxpayer “envelope.” The IRS functions as an electronic post office for the participating states, who receive and process the state electronic returns. (Please note that this electronic filing process automatically attaches a copy of your Federal return to your Oklahoma return, eliminating the need to forward a copy of the Federal return to the Oklahoma Tax Commission.
• You prepare your return(s) on your computer using commercial tax preparation software (such as Turbo Tax and Tax Cut), submit it electronically, and wait for an electronic notice of receipt. • Upon receipt of the return information, IRS computers automatically check for errors or other missing information. • You will be notified if the return has been accepted or rejected. If it’s accepted, you will need to send the signature document (Form 8453-OL, US Individual Income Tax Declaration for Online Filing) with your W-2 form and any other necessary supporting documents. • If your return is rejected, the electronic return transmitter will assist you in the correction process as part of its customer support. How to File Electronically • Get the necessary tax software. TurboTax , SecureTax , and Taxsoft all include an online filing option as part of their software. • Prepare your taxes and submit them electronically.
To file electronically, attorneys create their documents on their computers just as they normally do. Instead of printing the document on paper, however, attorneys save it in a portable document format that can be read by others with all formatting intact regardless of the type of computer or word processor they use. Attorneys then access the electronic filing system through their Internet provider over the World Wide Web. After establishing their identity by providing a Court-assigned user identification name and password that serves as their signature for electronically filed documents, attorneys indicate the case number that their document applies to, the party the document is being filed on behalf of, and the type of document (answer, motion, etc.) being filed. The document is then sent over the Internet to the Court’s computer which immediately sends a Notice of Electronic Filing (NEF) back to the attorney’s screen verifying that the document has been received.
