4. Has my return been accepted?

I-File issues a confirmation number to indicate that a return has been accepted.

E-File issues an acknowledgement. If you feel that an E-File return has successfully been transmitted and you have not received an acknowledgement within 48 hours, then please contact the software company that transmitted the return to Maine. Maine processes electronic returns as soon as they are received and the acknowledgements are immediately posted for the transmitter to pick up. It is the responsibility of the software company transmitting the returns to Maine to pass along acknowledgements to taxpayers in a timely and efficient manner. If they do not have the acknowledgement information that you are looking for, they will contact Maine’s E-File Helpdesk themselves.
