DFVC filing

[Bird]

A client filed last year's return late (his wife found it laying about and put it in a drawer - sounds familiar to me!). He got a late letter from the IRS (that's when he called me) so we did a quick DFVC filing.

The IRS wrote back and said they wanted a copy of the cancelled check or letter of acceptance from DOL.

Since checks aren't returned anymore, and I want to save him the trouble of asking for it, does the DOL routinely send a letter of acceptance? I've don't remember seeing one although it's quite possible clients received them and didn't forward.

thanks for anything.

Never heard of, or seen a letter of acceptance from the DOL. I used to have 150+ clients, seems if there is such a thing I should have seen one.

Easiest thing to do is get copy of check. Not that difficult to do. I also simpler than fretting over what a letter of acceptance is.
