Quick Employer Forms Confirmation

SRQ1801 — Tue, 10 Feb 2026 09:57:05 GMT

I am an accountant using QEF for the first time and I am disappointed in the lack of information on the product. Once I click efile forms is there a confirmation sent/received that I can put in my client file? Will my client receive the confirmation by email because their email address is in the business information screen or does some sort of confirmation show up in the software?

From the Quick Employer Forms FAQ

https://quickemployerforms.intuit.com/faq.htm

I e-filed my form(s), how will I know it was accepted with the IRS or SSA?

After e-filing your W-2 or 1099 form, please monitor your form status in the Forms tab of the corresponding business. The form status will change from "E-File Processing" to either "E-File Accepted" or "E-File Rejected", once the Government Agency processes the form. The status change may take up to 2 to 4 weeks. You will also receive a notification by e-mail when the status changes.For W-2 and 1099-NEC, e-file is due by January 31, 2024 . For 1099-MISC, 1099-INT and 1099-DIV, efile is due by March 31, 2024 .

BUT Turbo Tax is not licensed for accountants. You should not be using Turbo Tax.

You can not use the Online versions or the personal Desktop Software to prepare returns for clients. Intuit has 2 products for tax preparers. They are Lacerte and ProSeries. ProSeries is the least expensive. You can install ProSeries and Turbo Tax on the same computer.

UPDATE I just discovered there is a brand new Quick Employer Forms for accountants and anyone to use. Sorry I gave out wrong info about who can use it.
