What are the benefits of Business e-file?
Business e-file benefits include: • Proof of receipt – Generally within 24 to 48 hours you receive acknowledgement that FTB has accepted your client’s return for further processing. • Accurate returns – The error rate for paper returns is approximately 10 percent, while e-file returns have an error rate of less than 1 percent. • Opportunity to correct errors – The e-file program checks returns for common error conditions before we process them. This provides you the opportunity to correct the return and avoid a notice. • Error code explanations – Explanations that pinpoint the location of the error in the return. • Year-round return filing – Because many business returns are filed using a fiscal year calendar, the Business e-file system is available year-round. • Safe – We use the latest technologies to ensure the security and privacy of all taxpayer information. Our Internet filing service uses the industry standard 128-bit Secure Socket Layer encryption.
