All State tax agency users will be unable to submit new e-file and TDS applications for State coordinators or change existing e-file and TDS applications for State coordinators from August 17 until late October. This temporary issue will not affect State access to transcripts. If there is a critical need to add or remove an individual from a State application, States may contact their IRS government liaison representative who will notify appropriate IRS personnel.

Affordable Care Act Information Return (AIR) filers may resume submission of applications for Transmitter Control Codes starting on August 22. The application process for AIR users has been offline since July because of the e-Services platform transition.

A redesigned e-Services landing page will launch August 21.

IRS urges all e-Services users to plan ahead to accommodate the temporary outage.
