How much time do I need to plan for if I want to check the results of the bulk e-file before submitting payments separately? How quickly will results be available after submission of the bulk file?
If you are not submitting an ePayment with the e-filed deposit or return, you will want to make sure the deposit/return is not rejected prior to sending payment. The payment may not be applied appropriately to the taxpayer’s account. The time it takes to submit your file to the host system depends on the size of your file and the speed of the Internet connection. In general, the file should be uploaded within five minutes. The actual time it takes to process the file will depend on the type of data and availability of the host batch processing system. You will see the progress of your file including the percentage complete.
