Additional e-file and perfection period information

  • When an e-filed return or extension is rejected, the IRS provides a Transmission Perfection Period, or look-back period, to correct the filing and retransmit it. If the previously rejected filing is accepted by the IRS within the perfection period, it will be considered to have been received on the date of the first rejection that occurred within the period. Extensions for individuals are typically granted 5 calendar days. For more details on the perfection period, see IRS Pub. 4164. Check your state’s website to verify whether they allow the same perfection period as the IRS.
  • Returns DO NOT have to be Accepted by the IRS and/or states by the due date to be considered timely filed. An electronic postmark is assigned to a return when it is received by the Intuit Electronic Filing Center. This electronic postmark is the date the return or extension is considered filed. This electronic postmark is reported as the Return Submitted date and time displayed in the E-file Postmark.
    • The ERO is allowed until April 23, 2022 to correct and retransmit a rejected return. If the return is still rejected, the ERO is allowed an additional 5 calendar days to paper file the return.
  • Returns DO NOT have to be Accepted by the IRS and/or states on October 15, 2022 to be considered timely filed. An electronic postmark is assigned to a return when it is received by the Intuit Electronic Filing Center. This electronic postmark is the date the return or extension is considered filed. This electronic postmark is reported as the Return Submitted date and time displayed in the E-file Postmark.
    • The ERO is allowed until October 22, 2022 to correct and retransmit a rejected return. If the return is still rejected, the ERO is allowed an additional 5 calendar days to paper file the return.
  • The ERO should print the reject notice and Intuit Electronic Postmark Report and submit these documents with the paper return or extension. If paper filing and you are mandated as a preparer to electronically file the Federal 1040 returns, you should also complete and print Form 8948 to be mailed with the return.
