Well...e-file is no longer


PER ATF:

"The eForms software is not performing to our expectations. As a result, we are taking the eForms system down until further notice. We apologize for any inconvenience and appreciate your patience as we work with our industry partners to deliver a quality product. Any eForm submitted will continue to be processed. The finalized forms will be sent to the user via email.

Until the eForms system is returned to service for the industry, all imports forms (Forms 6 Part I and 6A), NFA forms (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 9 and 10), and AFMER reports (Form 5300.11) must be submitted via paper, including any eForms in draft status."

My dealer:

4.4.14:

Atf last week sent a note that some places were batching their submission (silencershop) and causing the system to crash. I am sure it is related but probably just part of it.

4.6.14:

I spoke with the ATF today. They have no information on the status or expected return of efile. Anything currently submitted in efile will be processed but they are advising all new submissions to use paper until efile is back up. Again no info on when that might happen, could be this week or this month or who knows when. Anthing already submitted will be processed as either approved or rejected, if it gets rejected you will have to refile using paper and go tothe end of the line.

Current paper filing will take about 12 months. They are quoting 2 months from the date the form is received it will be entered into the system and go into a pending state and then 9 to 10 months from pending it will be reviewed and approved.
