I had 2 x Form 4's approved a few weeks ago with no issues.

Today I received 2 disapprovals because I didn't put the Trust name in Box 2 on the form when they were filled out the exact same as submitted with the forms that were approved a couple weeks ago.

Now I get to resubmit these forms with the change and then wait to see if the other 9 forms I submitted will be either approved or disapproved (maybe some of each) using the original forms.

I waited to submit the rest of the forms until the first ones were approved to make sure I did everything right but I guess approval doesn't actually mean things were done right.

Not being able to modify a form and resubmit without filling everything out again is just stupid.

ETA: It appears you can still add documents to a submitted form so I added the corrected 5320.23's to each of the remaining submissions.

When you add a corrected form to the eforms general documents page its a good idea to give it a file name that makes it obvious it is a corrected form.

Yeah I put “(Fixed Box 2)” after the new file with the rest being the same as the original file name.

It seems to have worked as I got 2 more approved forms yesterday.

I resubmitted the disapproved forms as well as one that I missed added a responsible party somehow.

Sometimes this works, sometimes it doesn't. Still worth a shot.

Uploading a corrected Form 23 worked for me a few months back, for a pending Form 1.

I accidentally uploaded a version of my trust without the notary. I uploaded the correct one with the title: CORRECTED TRUST and still got denied.
Definitely worth a shot, but bpt resubmit.

4 were approved with the additional fixed form on Tuesday, however, today 2 were disapproved even though they also had the fixed forms attached in the exact same way as those that were approved the other day.

I swear trained monkeys would be more consistent than the ATF examiners.

I originally hoped they’d just be tossed.  The eForms system is a compromise; better, but not perfect.

A few years ago, I was a little too fast on copy-and-pastes and put my LLC name on everything.  Back then, I owned stuff in both LLCs and in my own name.

They caught some and approved others.  Never did figure that out.
