Account Ability Includes Combined Federal/State Filing! |
IRS established the
Combined Federal/State Filing (CF/SF) Program to simplify information
returns filing for the taxpayer. Through the CF/SF Program, IRS/IRB
forwards original and corrected information returns filed electronically
to participating states free of charge for approved filers. Separate
reporting to those states is not required.
The following information
returns may be filed under the CF/SF program:
-
-
1099-G
— Certain Government Payments
-
- 1099-K
— Payment Card and Third Party Network Payments
-
-
-
1099-PATR
— Taxable Distributions Received From Cooperatives
-
1099-R
— Distributions From Pensions, Annuities, Retirement Profit-Sharing
Plans, IRAs, Insurance Contracts
-
5498
— IRA Contribution Information
If you click
on any of the above links you will notice a CFSP (Combined
Federal State Program) field on the user interface. Simply specify a participating
state in the CFSP field and IRS will forward the information
to the participating state.
Participation
is Easy
A test file, coded for the CF/SF program, must be submitted in order
to participate in the Combined Federal/State Filing Program. The test
file may be submitted from November 1st through February 15th. Although
a test file is only required for the first year, it is highly recommended
that a test file be sent every year you participate in the Combined
Federal/State Filing program. Account Ability creates and submits
test files with just a couple of mouse clicks.
For detailed instructions, see the Combined Fed/State Filing
topic on our FAQ page.
