How does the filing status tell me if an annual return/report is considered filed in EFAST2?
If the filing status states Filing_Received, Filing_Error, or Processing_Stopped, then the annual return/report is considered received. However, filings with a status of Filing_Error or Processing_Stopped must be corrected through an amended filing. Below is a chart summarizing the submission and filing statuses and what they mean. By looking closer at the Filing Status, you can see specific error messages applicable to the transmitted filing.
