Use stale e-file reports to prevent the 10-day rule

Use these reports to find state e-files that were rejected due to a previous version of the application. Because of this, they break the 10-day rule. This means more than 10 business days passed from the release of the current version.
The
Electronic Filing
 tab shows
STALE
 next to any pending e-files that are affected by the 10-day rule. The following reports are a way to create a printable list that can help identify these files.
Identify all e-files that were created, but not transmitted
This report creates a list of all electronic files that you have created but haven’t yet transmitted. This list can help identify e-files that you created some time ago which could be stale and may need to be re-created.
