State taxing authority's e-file workflow

All state returns are transmitted to the federal e-file system before they're forwarded to the state taxing authority.
  1. Thomson Reuters transmits the federal return to the IRS.
  2. E-file performs checks on the submission. If valid, federal e-file makes the state return available to the state taxing authority. If not valid, federal e-file rejects the return.
  3. The state retrieves the return from federal e-file and sends a receipt for the state submission to e-file.
  4. The state processes the return and sends a state acknowledgement to e-file.
  5. Thomson Reuters retrieves the acknowledgement from federal e-file and makes it available to you.
