About State e-Filing
Most states accept e-filed returns and some require it—or have regulations that determine
at what point a tax professional can or must begin to e-file. (Mandates don’t
apply to taxpayers who e-file their own returns.) Some states with mandates have their
own application process for EROs and tax preparers who offer bank products. These
processes and the rules and regulations pertaining to e-file vary from state to state.
The state FAQ screens in data entry includes links to state e-file information. Information
on individual state requirements is available at Support.DrakeSoftware.com and
in Appendix E: State e-File Mandates.
