I know that the 2010 filings happening now are supposed to be on the 2010 forms. A bundled provider with whom we have some business is sending out their forms today on the 2009 form. If the clients follow their instructions and file them on the wrong form, what are the likely consequences?

It is my understanding that although the 2010 Forms are now available, the IRS is still accepting the 2010 data filed on a 2009 form.

Interesting that the web site contradicts the instructions for the 2010 form.
