WHAT IS MODERNIZED e-FILE (MeF)?<br />
The Modernized e-File (MeF) system is a replacement of IRS tax return filing technology with a modernized, Internetbased<br />
electronic filing platform. MeF uses the widely accepted Extensible Markup Language (XML) format. This is<br />
an industry standard used when identifying, storing and transmitting data rather than the proprietary data transmission<br />
formats used by older e-File programs. MeF is successfully processing electronically filed tax returns for individuals,<br />
corporations, partnerships, excise tax filers, and exempt organizations.<br />
MeF will accept the current Tax Year and two prior Tax Years. In Processing Year 2013, MeF will accept Tax Year<br />
20<strong>10</strong> (prior year), Tax Year 2011 (prior year) and Tax Year <strong>2012</strong> (current year) returns for Form <strong>10</strong>40. Subsequent<br />
Tax Years added to the MeF Platform, will affect the filing of prior year returns through MeF.<br />
• DO NOT file a Form 4868 for a prior year return.<br />
• MeF will not be accepting Forms 8839 or 8854 for Tax Years 2011 and <strong>2012</strong>, in XML or PDF.<br />
Forms and schedules that may be filed with a prior year Tax Year 20<strong>10</strong> return:<br />
