Sprintax Post-Filing FAQ

Major clearance:

FEDERAL TAX RETURN (FTR) and STATE TAX RETURN (STR) are two INDEPENDENT submissions, not related to the other. Imagine them as two different people you owed money to, so sending Federal Tax does not mean that you have done with your State Tax.

What is the deadline for tax payment and tax return?

April 18. To secure your submission on time and prevent any penalties, please do everything by April 15. (Applicable for both FTR and STR).

E-File and Related Questions.

How to know if I have e-filed?

Log in to your Sprintax Return, select “Edit” on the corresponding year (2022) and see. If they have a box like this, then you are successfully e-filed! (Another case is a gray box which shows it is pending, it also mean that you have e-filed, but the IRS need time to review before accepting it.

Otherwise, you are not able to e-file and have to send the Federal Tax Return through mail.

What does it mean to be e-filed?

If you have e-filed, you do not need to mail your FEDERAL Tax Return (You still have to mail your STATE Tax Return to Indianapolis).

Payment method?

Upon acceptance of your tax return (or April 15, whichever come first), please make a payment to the tax you owed (if you have). Again, remember FEDERAL and STATE are two different entities, so do not pay your FEDERAL liability to the STATE and vice versa.
