Bank Status/Acknowledgements

When you e-file a return with a bank product, the Bank Manager gives you the status on the approval of the bank product and the status of the return in relation to the EFC and the IRS. If your e-file receives a Rejected bank status, you must correct the bank errors displayed in E-file Manager, then re-create and re-transmit the bank application. For complete instructions, see Re-Creating Bank Applications.

This table defines acknowledgement information that can appear in the Bank Status column on the Bank Products Tab and Disbursements Tab of the Bank Manager.
