Has anyone ever run into issues with IRS rejection notices in Ultratax?
When I made the switch to UT from TaxAct I assumed it would be similar to any other tax software package and would automatically send notices of IRS rejections. But, apparently if you don't specifically request acknowledgements, it will display the status as "Return Transmitted to CS" with no indication of a filing issues. This was unexpected because any diagnostic checks at the software level are displayed prominently. I later found out from Thomson that certain big firms requested that the automatic notice be turned off so their staff would constantly monitor acknowledgements. UT even has an notice page, saying you should reconfigure the software to automatic notices, but dont bother to just set it up that way in the first place.
This is probably common knowledge, but it has been an very painful lesson for this solo practitioner and I hope nobody else has to go through this misery.
