days or if you receive an email indicating the file is bad, log back into the IRS FIRE System and select "Check File Status".
Here are the steps on how to look up tax return status after you efile 1099 tax return to IRS:
- Good, Not Released - The filer is finished with this file if the "Count of Payees" is correct. The file is
automatically released after ten calendar days unless the filer contacts the IRS within this timeframe.
- Good, Released - The file has been released for IRS processing.
- Bad - The file has errors. Click on the filename to view the error message(s), fix the errors, and resubmit the
file timely as a "Replacement" file.
- Not Yet Processed - The file has been received, but results are not available. Please check back in a few
days.
