E-File Confirmations Required?

What's wrong

with a little extra service to your client?

I always send the acceptance.

What say?

You can have the IRS e-mail your client the acceptance, but it's overloaded with general information. One of your options is to have the IRS e-mail your client at YOUR e-mail address. I do that. Then, I forward it to my clients that provide me with their e-mail addresses with my own message at the top explaining what it is and also giving them acceptance dates from their state(s) return(s). I keep a copy of the IRS e-mail with their 8879. If a client requests or has been especially concerned and I don't have an e-mail address for them, I mail them a copy. But, I'm trying to save on postage and time to address and paper and....

Can you provide more information on how you get IRS to email a client? I've never heard
of such, and IRS itself is so adverse to using email for communications.

Are you sure you're not talking about your third party indirect transmitter?

Cch?

You're probably right. I just set it up as an option in setting up e-filing. But, I use ProSystem fx and e-file through them, so it might be them. They use my e-mail address as the "from" and in my case also the "to" and then I write a note at the top and forward to client.
