Question
Can I e-file an Arizona State Return only with a direct deposit refund after the Federal IRS Return has been mailed in with a check for balance due?
My client wanted to mail his Federal Paper Return with a cashiers check for the balance due, which he did today. However, he is receiving a refund from ARIZONA and wanted to e-file that. I filled out the State only form and tried to e-file but was informed that the Federal Return needed to be received by IRS before it could be e-filed. Dah! Has anyone had this experience before who could tell me a way to check if IRS has received the Federal return? Also, if they have a time line estimate for the Fed Filing! Thanks!
