QuickAlerts "More" e-file Benefits for Tax Professionals
Did you know the IRS has a service that alerts Electronic Return Originators (EROs), Software Developers and Transmitters to e-file happenings almost at the very moment they occur? If not, then you’ve been missing out on some very helpful benefits provided by the QuickAlerts Messaging System. Get on board to become one of the thousands who receive “up-to-the-minute” information on e-file events.
What Is QuickAlerts?
QuickAlerts is a free online service that sends e-file messages, within seconds, to all "subscribers." These messages will keep you up to date on events that affect e-file Transmitters, Software Developers and Authorized IRS e-file Providers.
Why Should You Subscribe?
This is a "free service" with options and convenience rolled into one single package. What could be easier than a "one-time subscription" to receive important e-file information, continuously, until you unsubscribe?
What Are the Benefits?
Four QuickAlerts categories provide the e-file information that is certain to enhance your filing season.
-
Alerts – Processing delays, programming problems, changes to any filing season procedures, Error Reject Code and Business Rules information
-
Technical – Schema information and Software testing (ATS and PATS)
-
General Notifications – Seminars, Conferences, e-file publication changes
-
General IRS e-file Service Center Messages – IRS e-file program updates, General information, Service Center maintenance schedules, IRS e-file Help Desk phone numbers and more.
Choose the categories that suit your needs then sit back, relax and let the filing season news come to you through the convenience of email. Never miss another important event. Be informed of what you need to know, when you need to know it.
Another benefit is the QuickAlerts Library. The library stores previously posted messages. If you've missed any of the filing season messages, click on the following link to see older and previously posted Quickalerts: QuickAlerts Library
