IA 8453-IND

[TaxesPing]

Filed my Federal return electronically.  I did not electronically file my state.  When I printed my state to file it printed the IA 8453-IND form and stated not to mail my return in that it had been filed electronically.  What do I do?

It sounds like you may have accidentally e-filed your state return. Are you in Iowa?

[TaxesPing]

That's what i thought but nope, electronic filing of IA taxes did not happen.

 I did e-file Iowa state for the additional fee.   

 Somewhere it said to fill and sign IA 8453-IND within one day of acceptance.

  Then what?   So I had the same question, but found the correct answer here, in the form instrutions, apparently not available from State of Iowa.gov

Ref https://www.esmarttax.com/tax-forms/iowa-form-ia-8453-ind-instructions/

See this line: (notes and bold added)

 Return the completed form  ( IA 8453-IND ) to the ERO ( Electronic Return Originator) 

or paid preparer, unless self-prepared. If self-prepared, retain the IA 8453-IND.

@j_g

That's correct.  You don't need to mail Form IA 8453-IND to the Department of Revenue, simply retain it for your records.
