IRS established the Combined Federal/State Filing
Program to simplify information returns filing
for the taxpayer. IRS/MCC will forward original and
corrected information returns to participating
states free of charge for approved filers. Separate
reporting to those states is not necessary.
All
corrections properly coded for the Combined
Federal/State Filing Program will be forwarded to
the participating states. Only send corrections
which affect the Federal reporting or affect Federal
and State reporting. Errors which apply only to the
state filing requirement should be sent directly to
the state.
1099Fire™ Software is setup to use the IRS
Combined Federal/State Filing Program. With
the CFSFP, you only have to file once!
Frequently asked questions with responses are below:
Which forms may be filed
under the IRS Combined Federal/State Filing (CF/SF)
Program?
Which States are current participants?
Can I participate in the Combined
Federal/State Filing Program?
As a service provider, must I obtain a
separate 6847 for each of my clients?
CFSFP Validation Process
Can I use CFSFP for Forms W2/W3?
Do I have to
notify my state of my participation in the Combined Federal/State
Filing Program?
Some participating states require separate notification. IRS/MCC
simply acts as a forwarding agent, so it is the Payer's
responsibility to contact the appropriate state for further
information.
The Combined Federal
State Filing Program was established to simplify reporting of
Information Returns to participating states. Due to increased
concerns over proper disclosure of information, the Information
Reporting Program is enhancing the validation process of combined
federal/state data.
To ensure that your files are accurate, we encourage all
participants to send a test file annually prior to
submitting your original information returns. IRS will accept test
files electronically through the FIRE System from November 1 through
February 15.
