You got this—all you have to do is start!
We make filing taxes delightfully simple with our flat–rate price. Every feature included for everyone.
Start filingWhen you electronically file your tax return, the IRS confirms receipt of your return with an Acknowledgement Record. This record indicates either “Accepted” or “Rejected.”
- A “Rejected” status includes a description of what must be corrected on the return. You'll have to re-file, but you won't have to pay 1040.com for another filing.
- An "Accepted" status confirms that the government received your return and accepted it for processing.
Your e-file provider, whether an e-filing program or a tax professional, receives the Acknowledgment Record and can inform you of the status.
When you file with 1040.com, our sophisticated transmission technology formats and encrypts your return for secure, direct delivery to the IRS. As soon as 1040.com receives an acknowledgement from the IRS, we’ll notify you via email to let you know whether your return has been accepted or rejected. If it's been rejected, we'll show you what must be corrected when you log back in.
We're in your corner.
You can always check on the status of your return by signing in at 1040.com.
