Not started
Sovos has received your data, but the return preparation hasn’t started yet. Don’t worry — the Managed Services team will begin preparing your return in time to meet the filing deadlines.
Preparing return...
Your preparer has started working on the return and it will be available to review within 48 hours.
Ready to file
Sovos has prepared your return and it’s ready for you to review. Once you review the return, you can either approve it for filing or put it on hold.
- If you agree with the amounts you see on the return, click File Now to start filing.
- If you disagree with the amounts or if you think something is wrong, click Hold to pause the filing process for the return.
After this stage, returns are locked and can no longer be modified.
Return on hold
Returns that are on hold won't be submitted to the taxing authority. The Managed Services team will work with you to make sure the return is correct before continuing the filing process.
