EFILE previously batched T1 Files

Why am I seeing this prompt?

ProFile transmits any previously batched files together with newly batched files when a user selects the Transmit now option during the batch EFILE process.

ProFile users encounter the following message when these unsent, previously batched files are about to transmit with newly batched files:

What causes this prompt?

There are two scenarios where this message displays:

• Files were previously batched but not transmitted.
• Files were previously batched and transmitted, but an error occurred during transmission (for example, an interruption in Internet service or computer outage).

What should I do?

There are two actions available to ProFile users who encounter this prompt:

• Transmit the previously batched files with the newly batched files.
• Or exclude all the previously batched files from being transmitted with the newly batched files.

Where are the previously batched files located?

Previously batched files are stored in your My ProFile Data folder in the Windows Documents library.

The previously batched files are stored in folders.

Files that were previously batched, but not transmitted, have the designation .TAX.

Note: Any files with the designation .TAX0 have been previously transmitted.

Transmit the previously batched files

To transmit previously batched files, simply repeat the batch EFILE process with the newly batched files and select the Transmit now button when prompted:

All previously batched files transmit with the newly batched files.

Exclude previously batched files from transmitting

It is necessary to move the year folder related to the files from the My ProFile Data directory to a new location.

Note: Do not simply delete the year folder; the files within it should be retained.

1. Navigate to the My ProFile Data folder stored in the Windows Documents library.
2. Identify the year folder (for example, 2017T1) that contains the previously-batched files.
3. Right-click on the folder and select the Cut option.
4. Navigate to, or create, another directory outside of the My ProFile Data path and right-click in that directory.
5. Select the Paste option; the year folder and files are pasted to the new location.
6. Repeat the batch EFILE process for the newly batched files and select the Transmit now button when prompted:

The cut-and-pasted year folder will not be visible to ProFile during the transmission of the newly-batched files and no previously batched files transmit.
