Mandatory IRS e-Services Account Verification

If you are a Direct Filing Reporting Agent and use your e-Services Account to transfer your returns directly to the IRS, you must complete the e-Services Account process for verifying your account.   A letter was sent to all users on 11/28 explaining the process of registering for their Get Transcript Online system as a way of verifying your e-Services Account Identity.  Please note that if you did not get this letter, and/or were not able to complete this process, your e-Services ID will likely be locked until you contact the IRS and verify your Identity.   We would recommend trying to complete this process as soon as possible.

Duplicate Companies in Quarterly Express Plus Database

There has been a problem in Quarterly Express Plus over the past few versions where duplicate companies appear in the list after processing returns.  We have corrected the issue in our latest 2.2.x release, but you will need to do one of the following to correct the database entries moving forward:
  • Most of the duplicates actually belong to another company.  You can look at the history records which will show the true EIN of the company who owns this record.  Simply, find that companies information and edit the record to change the duplicated information to the correct information.  Once you save and re-display the list, it should now be correct.
  • Simply, delete the duplicates, and re-import or re-enter the information for any companies that are missing.  Keep in mind that the returns will still be present, but the history will be gone.
If you need help resolving this situation, contact support@qexplus.com


Dillner's Accounting Tools is a new Interface Partner

You can now use Dillner's Accounting Tools to export information to Quarterly Express Plus for e-file purposes.  Our Indirect Reporting Agent, and Advanced Reporting Agent licenses will both support this option of filing.

Quarterly Express ACA Return Support

Our Quarterly Express Plus software will continue to support ACA returns for TY2016.  You can create the following ACA returns for printing, or e-filing within our current release:
  1. Form 1094-B
  2. Form 1095-B
  3. Form 1094-C
  4. Form 1095-C
These return types can be both manually entered, or imported from either an Excel, Tab Delimited or XML file.  We are able to import the XML if your software generates an XML file but does not provide an option for transmission. 
 
All existing Reporting Agent licensees will receive AIR import capability as a part of the license you already own.  For Business Taxpayers and ERO's, they can purchase import capability if needed for $99.00.  We provide both the Indirect, and Direct options for filing, but keep in mind that you will not be able to file Direct unless you have the following:
  1. A valid TCC (Transmitter Control Code from the IRS)
  2. Obtain an AIR Transmitter License for Quarterly Express Plus.  ($149.95)
  3. Using Quarterly Express Plus, pass Communication Testing with the IRS using your TCC.
