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 information
returns that may be filed under the CF/SF Program are:
-
Form
1099-DIV Dividends and Distributions
-
Form

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 more information, see the Combined Fed/State Filing
topic on our FAQ page.
