Mississippi requires the MS and Federal tax return to stay linked. In order to file the Mississippi return, you have the following options:
-
e-file the MS return and the federal Form 1040 together. Remove any option to suppress the federal return on EF Selections screen or under Setup > Options > EF.
-
Transmit MS after the federal return has been e-filed and accepted. An A ack must show on the ESUM screen.
-
Paper-file the MS return. If the federal return will not be transmitted and accepted electronically, the MS return will have to be paper-filed.
Note An acceptance for a federal extension only, Form 4868, does not allow for the transmittal of the MS return by itself.
