Tax Returns In-Process Statuses

As returns move through processing, they display different statuses. These statuses are shown in the Status column on the Tax Returns In-Process page. See the entries below for more information.

Note:

These statuses apply to returns that have not been delivered. To see a list of statuses applied to delivered returns, see Delivered and Archive Returns Statuses.
