Coming Soon to the Modernized e-File (MeF) Program
The IRS will be adding the following tax types to the Modernized e-File Program in
January 2014:
- 94X (Employment Tax) Form Family. MeF will add the following
employment tax returns and their associated forms and schedules: 940, 940PR, 941,
941PR, 941SS, 943, 943PR, 944, and 945.
- 1041 (Estates & Trusts) Form Family. MeF will add the 1041 return and its
associated forms and schedules.
MeF plans to begin processing these returns in January 2014 for the following tax
years/processing years:
| Form | Tax Year | Processing Year | Return Type |
| 1041 | TY2013 | PY2014 | Annual |
| 94X | TY2013 | PY2014 | Quarter 4 (Due 1/31/2014) |
| 94X | TY2013 | PY2014 | Annual |
| 94X | TY2014 | PY2014 | Quarters 1, 2, & 3 |
During the first year of deployment (Filing Season 2014), MeF and ELF
(Legacy System) will operate concurrently. The following year, the existing 94X and
1041 ELF programs will be phased out.
To keep updated on the status and changes to 94X and 1041 MeF, States and
external partners can attend the MeF Working Group meetings and check this page
