Corporation E-file Process

  2. Federal and state returns are either transmitted together in a single submission or in separate submissions.
  3. IRS will forward Louisiana returns to LDR for processing. LDR will return acknowledgements back to IRS, where they can be picked up by transmitters.
  4. Each return will be acknowledged separately.
