What information is actually sent to the IRS when e-filing? Is it only the info from the forms that would be sent for paper filing (form numbers, lines, and amounts) or are 1099 forms that have been imported or created during the preparation process also sent as part of the e-file process?
A good amount of the effort in using TT is in checking all details of imported 1099 forms and properly creating additional forms when needed. If only the box numbers and amounts amounts which flow into the actual tax forms are relevant, can we relax detailed checking of items such as addresses and IRS numbers of payers?
I don't have a problem with checking everything in detail, but I'd like to understand better where there are potential problems in e-filing or with IRS and state acceptance of returns.
