Subject: Scheduled Modernized e-File (MeF) Production and Assurance Testing System (ATS) Downtime

Attention: All Modernized e-File (MeF) Business and Individual (BMF & IMF) Participants - Transmitters, Software Developers and States

The Modernized e-File system will be unavailable for processing from approximately 6:00 am until 6:00 pm, Eastern on Saturday, June 18, 2011 while the IRS performs disaster recovery site testing. Although the Registered User Portal (RUP) will be operational during a portion of this time, any returns or extensions transmitted to MeF will not be processed.

Please refrain from accessing the MeF Production or Assurance Testing Systems to transmit business/individual tax returns, retrieve acknowledgements or submit any other service requests.

Please monitor the MeF Status Page for any updates. We will issue a QuickAlert when the system is available again after the testing is complete. We are sorry for any inconvenience caused.

The routine system maintenance window is still scheduled for Sunday, June 19, 2011 from 1:00 am to 7:00 am, Eastern.
