HUB TESTING BEGINS TODAY - JANUARY 16

HUB TESTING BEGINS TODAY - JANUARY 16

Between 2pm and 5pm eastern time, we will begin sending small batches of tax returns to the IRS for processing. You may begin to receive acknowledgements as early as this afternoon. If all goes well today, the IRS will ask for a greater number of returns in subsequent days throughout HUB testing.

HUB testing will continue the rest of this week, pause for the weekend, and resume Monday through Thursday next week leading up to the official start of e-file January 29th.

Tax returns that are sent to the IRS are randomly processed by our system. We are unable to provide information on when any given return will be sent to the IRS for processing, or when acknowledgements will be received.

Beginning today, 1/16, we will no longer be unlocking returns that have been transmitted. Please carefully review each return for accuracy before transmitting.

**Important Updates & Reminders**

  1. HUB Testing will start slowly... The IRS tests one transmitter at a time. Acks will likely be slow.
  1. There is a possibility returns receive false rejects during this period.
  1. Due to MeF (Modernized e-File), once you transmit a return, the return cannot be deleted from the servers.
    1. If you need to make a change on a return that is e-filed, you will need to file an amended return.
