Preparers can easily check the status of a client’s electronically filed return at the Preparer’s EF Status page. 

You can view a report showing the statuses of multiple client returns simultaneously, or search for a specific client’s status individually. 

The report can be sorted by name, type of return, date, or status. All that’s required is the preparer’s EFIN and password.

To search for an individual client’s status, you must have the taxpayer’s SSN, ZIP code, and last name. If you use this option, there are separate pages for business returns (1065, 1120, 1120S).
