Filing instructions and confirmations

Updated over 2 weeks ago

Table of contents:

In your TFX account, you can preview, download, and print all tax documents prepared by TFX for any year. To access them, go to the Documents section. If new files are available, you will see a number displayed next to the section.

Instructions & Confirmations folder

The Instructions & Confirmations folder contains filing instructions and electronic filing confirmations from the IRS, the Treasury, and the state tax authorities, organized by tax year.

  • Confirmations: 

    TFX typically e-files your returns and FBARs after you explicitly approve the prepared documents in your TFX account. When e-filing is successful, we upload:

    • IRS and state tax authorities e-filing confirmations

    • Treasury (FBAR) acceptance confirmations (acknowledgments)

    In some cases, e-filing is not possible (for example, amended returns or Streamlined submissions). When this happens, we provide clear mailing instructions in a document called "Final instructions".

  • Filing instructions:

    The final step in the filing process is to provide you with a document called "Final instructions", which summarizes:

    • The services provided

    • The documents prepared

    • How your documents were/should be submitted to the IRS/Treasury (e-filed or mailed)

    • Any required mailing steps if it is impossible for us to e-file on your behalf (for example, Streamlined procedures mailing instructions)

To manage your files for a specific year, click on a specific tax year to view its files. Each year shows the number of unread documents, and each file includes a short description to help you identify it easily.
