8. What is Maine's e-file application process for out-of-state Electronic Return Originators (ERO's)?

Unless your Maine filing status differs from your federal filing status, you are automatically accepted to e-file individual income tax returns with Maine once you are accepted by the IRS to e-file federally. No additional paperwork is necessary. MRS has access to IRS approved EFINs through their database, so it is no longer necessary to fax or email federal acceptance letters to us.

If you transmit e-file returns to Maine and get a Reject Code 9405 for your return(s), then your EFIN is not in our database. In this scenario only, you should fax a copy of their federal acceptance letter (which shows your current EFIN(s)) to 207-624-9740, attention of the E-file Coordinator. Emailing a PDF version of the federal acceptance letter to efile.helpdesk@maine.gov is acceptable as well.
