New and improved
- IRIS submissions
- Record numbers now link to account numbers, giving each record a unique identifier and preventing IRS duplicate rejections.
Bug fixes

We fixed a problem that caused ZIP codes to be required for 1042-S recipients with the Foreign Recipient checkbox selected. You can now save foreign recipients without a ZIP code.
-
We fixed a problem that caused incorrect status codes for 1042 form rejections, preventing resubmission of corrected forms.
-
We fixed a problem where 1042 transmittals remained in a Submitting status after receiving a response. Statuses now update to Accepted or Rejected.

Box 71B and Box 71D are now required on 1042 forms when Refund is checked in Box 71A to prevent IRS XML schema validation errors.
