What is an Acknowledgement?

📚 What This Guide Covers

This article explains the meaning of an Acknowledgement (ACK) and how to view them within SureFire to track the status of your e-filed returns.

🔍 What is an ACK?

An Acknowledgement is a formal response from the IRS or a state tax agency regarding an e-filed return.

When you transmit a return electronically, the taxing authority (IRS or State) sends back an Acknowledgement. This message indicates one of two primary results:

  • Accepted: The return has been received and passes initial processing.
  • Rejected: The return has an error that must be corrected before it can be re-filed.

📊 How to View Acknowledgements

You can monitor all received acknowledgements through the built-in reporting tool:

  1. Go to the Reports menu at the top of the program window.
  2. Select Acknowledgements.

The Acknowledgements window provides a comprehensive list of all federal and state acceptances, rejections, and direct communications from the IRS.
