There are sometimes situations when a return cannot be e-filed or there is an e-file rejection that cannot be resolved. We don’t currently have a way to add note to an engagement to explain that it was paper filed.

I would like to request a status of "Paper Filed" for the "E-sign your final tax returns" task for these situations to make it perfectly clear to anyone looking at the engagement.

If the client mails their return(s), we don’t always get a copy of the certified slip to upload to the task if we mark it accepted, and marking it as accepted implies that it was e-filed.
