How do I enter the EFIN and Vendor Control Number (VCN) in a return configuration set in CCH Axcess™ Tax?
Each Electronic Filing Identification Number (EFIN) is assigned a Vendor Control Number (VCN). Both the EFIN and VCN are entered when configuring electronic filing defaults in a return configuration set.
Note: When configuring the RCS, if you select Use signer location for signature block on the Signature Block window in the RCS, all detail on the Signer Locations window, including the VCN, is used for all returns associated with that RCS instead of the values for the same fields entered on the RCS Electronic Filing windows.
- For more information about what a VCN is, see our article on Vendor Control Numbers (VCN).
- Obtain the tracking that is associated with your EFIN from IRS e-Services.
- Enter the EFIN and tracking number in EFIN Manager . Allow approximately 48 hours for the IRS to validate the EFIN, after which, a VCN is assigned.
- Obtain the VCN from EFIN Manager.
- Enter the VCN in the applicable return configuration set (RCS).
- Open Dashboard.
- In the navigation panel, click Application Links.
- Under Tax, click Configuration > Return configuration sets.
- In the navigation panel, expand Tax Return Configuration Sets.
- Expand your configuration set
- Expand Electronic Filing Options
- Click General.
- Confirm that the EFIN that has been entered for this return configuration set is the EFIN that the VCN was assigned to.
- Enter the VCN in the Vendor Control Number box.
- Click Save & Close.
