Forms approval

There are two independent approval processes: one for electronic filing and one for paper filing. To find out the approval status, follow the steps below.

  1. Check the Iowa user bulletins to verify the highest version currently available.
  2. In UltraTax CS, go to Help > About UltraTax CS. Scroll down the list of licensed products and verify that the version you see here matches the highest version. If an update is required, go to CS Connect and retrieve and apply available updates.
  3. Once UltraTax is up to date, click the house icon in the upper-right corner of UltraTax to go to the UltraTax CS Home Page.
  4. Click the Product Information link on the left side of the home page, then click the 1041 tab, then click the plus sign next to the state.

For electronically filed returns, check the Supports e-file status. If the status is Yes, electronic filing is approved and returns can be e-filed.

For paper filing tax returns, check the Forms status. Any return that contains a form listed here should not be paper filed. However, returns that contain forms listed here can still be e-filed, as long as Supports e-file is Yes.
