The IRS will make changes to their production processing systems this weekend.  The updates will address Rejections for IRS Form 8962 with rejection codes F1040-0428 and F1040-0429. 

We suggest that you hold these returns until the IRS completes their updates which should be completed by February 9th.

Delay in receiving Modernized e-File (MeF) Acknowledgements

We received the following information from the IRS and are passing it along to you.  You can read the entire release here.

Attention Software Developers and Transmitters
The length of time for the MeF System to create federal acknowledgments and make them available for retrieval is taking longer than expected. As receipts continue to increase throughout the day, the length of time may also increase. The IRS is closely monitoring the acknowledgment rates and is working to close the gap as a top priority.

We will issue a Technical QuickAlert once the delays are resolved.
Please monitor the MeF Status page for updates.
Thank you for your patience and support.
