The individual who transmitted the annual return/report to EFAST2 or the signer(s) of that return/report can check the filing status, using the software used to submit the annual return/report, approximately 20 minutes after submission.
The transmitter and filing signer also can check the status of the returns/reports they submitted or signed through the EFAST2 web site regardless of what software (IFILE or EFAST2-approved) was used to submit the filings.
Any person (not just the transmitter or signer) can check the status of a filing by calling the EFAST2 Help Line at 1.866.GO-EFAST (1.866.463.3278) and using our automated voice system. The automated system will provide you with the status of the filing but will not describe any errors specific to the filing.
