E-filing confirmations

Thanks for checking in with us, cjn52.

 

There's no specific time frame on when the status change from "rejected" to "submitted to the agency". However, Intuit will submit it to the tax agency within 24-48 hours and you check the status of your filings by following these steps:

 

  1. Go to Employees, then select Payroll Center.
  2. Choose the File Forms tab.
  3. Select the E-Filings tab in the Filing History section.
  4. If the E-Filing status is not updating, refresh the list by toggling between the Saved Filings and E-filings tabs.
  5. Select the View link in the Audit Trail column for more details.

 

Here are the different statuses that show:

 

  • Submitted to Intuit - The e-payment or e-filed form has been submitted to Intuit.
  • Intuit rejected - Intuit has rejected the e-payment or e-filed form. This error can occur due to incorrect payment, form information, or server connection issues.
  • Submitted to the agency - Intuit has sent the e-payment or e-filed form to the agency.
  • Agency rejected - The agency rejected the e-payment or e-filed form and sent a rejection message with a solution.
  • Agency accepted - The agency has successfully processed your e-payment or e-filed form and is now complete.

 

Furthermore, you can also consider learning how to e-pay taxes in QuickBooks Desktop Payroll Enhanced. Also, to ensure that the payment or form is submitted to the agency promptly, it's important to check the status of the e-payment or e-filed form after it's submitted.

 

To check the progress of your status, I recommend contacting QuickBooks Desktop Payroll support. To help you pull up the resources you need. Here's how: 

 

  1. Open QuickBooks.
  2. Go to the Help menu at the top.
  3. Select QuickBooks Desktop Help.
  4. Click on Contact Us at the bottom.
  5. Enter your concern.
  6. Choose Continue.
  7. Select the way you wish to connect with support.

 

You can also check out this link for more contact information: Contact QuickBooks Desktop Payroll support. Ensure to review their support hours, so you'll know when agents are available. For additional reference, adding you some articles to know how to submit and check the filed forms:

 

 

Please come back and keep us posted on your progress with the status of your filings. I'm determined to get this resolved. You have a good one.

I posted this same issue last year.  I never did get an "Agency accepted" status.  It remains to this day with "Submitted to agency".   It was 11 days later when under "Audit trail" it showed that it was agency accepted.  It was frustrating at the time because it usually is immediate as you mention.   It looks like this is going to most likely be the case this time around as well.   It should be fine.

That doesn't quite address what I'm seeing in my QB's desktop. Under "Audit Trail" it only shows "submitted to Intuit". It hasn't even reached the status of "sent to tax agency".

That doesn't quite address the situation I have. Under "Audit Trail" it only shows "Sent to Intuit". It hasn't even reached the status of "Sent to tax agency".

 Thank you for getting back to us, @cjn52

 

The Submitted to Intuit status means that the e-payment or e-filed form has been submitted to Intuit. Usually, Intuit will submit it to the tax agency within 24-48 hours. However, if it's already beyond this timeframe, I suggest reaching out to our Customer Support team.

It took almost 2 weeks for the audit trail to update to accepted.  I am expecting the same things this time.
