Combined Federal/State Filing program (CFSFP)

As an eFileforBusiness customers, you are automatically enrolled in the Combined Federal/State Filing program (CFSFP) when you file your 1099 forms with us. To take advantage of this service, you must fill out form 6847 and submit this to the IRS.

Through the CFSFP, IRS/MCC will forward original and corrected information returns, filed electronically or magnetically, to participating states for approved filers.

To take advantage of this service, you must fill out form 6847 and submit this to the IRS. Submitting form 6847 will allow your 1099 forms to be submitted to the states that participate in the program. An overview of participating states, form 6847 instructions and form 6847 itself are provided below.

Please Note: The CFSFP program is only for the IRS forms. Form W2 is an SSA form and not part of the program, so any required state filing must be done directly with the state. The rules for submitting these forms varies by state with some states only requiring them under very specific circumstances if at all. As part of the eFileforBusiness print & mail server, a recipient does receive a 4-part form which has a copy that can be included with their state return. The filer needs to contact the state's tax department or seek advice from a professional to find out if they need to file the W2 directly with the state. If they do actually need to file with the state, they can print out the PDF’s online for submission to the state.
