E-filing problems plague Sept. 15 deadline

September 17, 2020

Tax practitioners who use two CCH return preparation products reported problems with corrupted files and an inability to e-file returns by the Sept. 15 deadline, resulting in late tax returns.

Some practitioners also reported corrupted files after opening previously saved returns.

The AICPA has contacted the IRS to discuss the need for guidance on how to move forward and possible penalty relief for returns that did not make the Sept. 15 deadline.

CCH apologized for the complications, and the e-filing system is currently functioning normally.
