To optimize operational efficiency and improve customer service, Treasury is
supporting e-file for the first year of the MBT by participating in the Internal
Revenue Service (IRS) Fed/State Modernized e-File (MeF) program, and will begin
accepting MBT e-file returns in January 2009.
E-filing of MBT returns is available for tax year 2008 as supported by the
software. The e-file mandate for SBT is being continued for software developers
supporting MBT, effective January 1, 2010, for the 2009 tax year. Software
developers producing MBT preparation software will need to support e-file for
all eligible MBT forms that are included in their tax preparation software.
Therefore, if you prepare MBT returns using a computer software program you must
e-file all eligible tax year 2009 returns that are supported by your software.
