How to use GoSystem API to identify states for tax returns

Todd Snoddy

Hi, I am trying to pull tax return data using the GoSystem API's.  How can I identify which state(s) are associated with a specific tax return?

    Ok, do I have to have already created an e-file for this return?  I haven't created one yet since I need to programmatically detect the state(s) to use.  When I try calling this API on the return I get back the response. {"Message":"Error fetching status - No data found"}

    I am providing the year on the URL and also specifying the Account as a header, and searching for a specific tax return by ID.

    Thanks.

    Yes, we need to create an E-File for a return to retrieve the states since we select the states during the E-File creation process. To retrieve the states for all accounts, not just a specific return, it isn't necessary to pass the return ID. Instead, we need to pass the Account status.
