🔍 How do I create an Electronic File (e-file) in SureFire?
This guide shows you how to create an electronic file (e-file) in SureFire.
⚠️ Before You Begin
Make sure you are in the correct return so SureFire can generate the Federal and (if available) state e-file(s).
📊 Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1: Open the e-file creation area
Use this when you need to start creating your electronic file.
Click Diagnostic.
Step 2: Start the e-file process
Use this to begin generating the Federal and state e-file(s).
Click the E-File button.
Step 3: Select e-file options (if prompted)
Use this when SureFire asks you to choose which e-file(s) to create.
If a state return is selected for electronic filing, SureFire will display the Select E-files window.
Click OK.
Step 4: Confirm the e-file(s) were created
Use this to verify that the electronic files were generated.
The Federal e-file and state e-file(s) will be created.
If there is no state e-file for the return, the Select E-files window will be unavailable.
After creating the e-file(s), SureFire will display a Status window.
With a message: (118) Electronic return is created and stored on disk.
Click OK.
✅ Success!
Your e-file(s) have been created and SureFire confirmed the message: (118) Electronic return is created and stored on disk.
