Note that once a return is transmitted, it goes directly to the IRS and cannot be stopped or recalled. Take a moment to ensure that only returns that should be transmitted are showing. Transmit the return by going to EF > Transmit/Receive. Note: Starting in Drake18, if you return to data entry and make changes to a return that has already been selected for EF, but not transmitted, you will receive a pop-up that states that the return was removed from the "queue" and must be re-selected from EF > Select Returns for EF. No returns have been transmitted at this point. A report generates showing the return(s) that have been selected for EF. Select the return for e-filing under EF > Select Returns for EF. View the return, clear any red messages, and calculate the return and ensure that a green check is beside all desired forms. Confirm that the return is complete and eligible to be e-filed.
