Subject: Update about e-File/TDS applications

e-Services Users,

Most user applications for e-File, Transcript Delivery Systems and the AIR Transmitter Control Code are now available. The transition of e-Services to a new platform was completed this weekend. This technology upgrade will mean an improved look and feel to the applications.

All users except for state users may now submit new or change existing applications. Restoring state access to applications and to extracts is a priority. Meanwhile, states may submit critical changes by contacting their IRS Government Liaison.

This technology upgrade took longer than anticipated. The IRS apologizes for the inconvenience this has caused. The IRS also has added additional personnel to the e-Help Desk to assist with applications questions and processing.

As a reminder, we announced on Friday that the move of e-Services to a new identity proofing process called Secure Access currently is on hold while we review vendor options.

Please know that we are doing our best to upgrade our systems to make e-Services easier to use and more secure for you and your clients.
