Anyone use eForms Recently?

CountryGent · May 25, 2019

So, I have another Form 1 project (SBR) under works. I'm planning on having the threading and action work done first while it is still Title I. Then I will file for the stamp. I plan on using eForms since it is back now, albeit requiring mailing in fingerprint cards. (There are only two people on our trust; me and the wife, so that isn't a huge chore.)

Anyone use the "new and improved system"? If so, what was your experience and was the time to approval faster than mailing in paper material?

Thanks much.

I did an e-File Form 1 around New Years. Even though it was right in the middle of the shutdown, only took 36 days. Pretty easy process.

Thanks much for the information; I appreciated it. And 36 days is lightening fast compared to some NFA transfers I've done. (The worst was well over a year, start to finish. Ugh.)

Can you request a physical stamp after receiving an efile approval? I feel weird with the all online aspect.

I don't think you can get a physical stamp. I think @Tomahawk67 requested one and replied in the NFA tracker -wait time thread that the PDF was all you get.

Yeah , they never obliged my request for the physical stamp. I like the actual stamp just because, but if it takes a 10 month wait for the real one like my first two , I'll settle for the 20-30 day wait and a PDF.

CountryGent, It takes about 15 minutes on your computer and then 15 minutes at the PD and then you're sitting pretty in no time. You should definitely do it.

Thanks guys. I did three builds (2 SBRs, 1 SBS) via eForms before 41F took it away. Now it is back, so I was wondering if is the way to go. Sounds like it.

FYI, turn around time is a little inconsistent. I filed two in April and got them back in 12 days. I filed another at the end of April, I got that one back after 30 days. Either way, faster than pre-41F stamps I filed before.
