Add e-filing support for Form 709 (Gift Tax Returns)
The IRS now supports electronic filing for Form 709 through the Modernized e-File (MeF) system, beginning with recent tax years. However, it appears that ProSeries does not currently support e-filing for these returns.
We would like to request that Intuit prioritize adding e-file capability for Form 709 within ProSeries.
For firms like ours, the ability to e-file gift tax returns would provide significant benefits:
Improved efficiency and reduced administrative burden compared to paper filing
Faster processing and confirmation of receipt by the IRS
Reduced risk of mailing delays or lost filings
Alignment with the IRS’s modernization efforts
As more clients require timely and accurate gift tax filings, continuing to rely on paper processes creates unnecessary operational challenges.
Is there currently a roadmap or expected timeline for enabling Form 709 e-file in ProSeries? If not, we strongly encourage Intuit to consider this enhancement as a priority.
Thank you for your consideration.
