Tax Series eFileReviewer

E-filing introduces a number of new processes to your tax department that require more information than printed returns can provide. Ensuring that the e-filed return contains the data that it should and that it matches the printed returns is critical. Ease the transition into corporate e-filing using our eFileReviewer.

It is becoming clear that there are significant differences between paper copy tax returns and the content of e-file that had been transmitted to the IRS. Most of the discrepancies are inadvertent errors. These discrepancies are the direct result of the general assumption that the corporate tax software creates accurate transmission file based on the paper tax returns it printed. Although the tax software may be capable of producing the accurate content of e-file, user process can produce inaccurate e-file. Listed below are some of the inaccuracies we have observed in the past:

  • Omission of critical forms from the transmission file (legal entity Form 1120, Schedule M-3, Form 5471, Form 8858, Form 8865, and Form 4797)
  • Incomplete data on critical forms such as Schedule M-3, as well as other data specifically required for e-filing
  • Missing or incomplete supporting schedules and attachments
  • Inclusion of unnecessary or unintended data

Regardless of the tax software in use, eFileReviewer lets anyone in an organization review the content of e-file in a format comfortable to all tax professionals to assure that all paper return content is correctly included in the electronic file that is to be submitted to the IRS. By providing tax forms and corresponding attachments in a legible PDF format, executive teams can take comfort in understanding what they are approving and be confident their tax software is submitting the appropriate information to the IRS

TTI recognizes the risk of tax return inaccuracies due to the difficulty in validating content between the transmission file and paper return. Therefore, we are offering eFileReviewer to allow taxpayers to Review, Reveal, and Remedy the content of their transmission prior to e-filing with the IRS; thereby avoiding unnecessary penalties.
