Class 3/NFA e-file, Who's done it?

[Boomstick]

Getting set up to start e-filing trust NFA forms. Who has done it? How much quicker is it? Did you use a e-file signature program for the forms signature, i assume you have too since the form needs to be signed? IS the payment site easy to use?

Reviving this thread, as I am curious as well.

I did our first three last week. Very easy.

 

[Boomstick]

I did mine on Jan2nd, for me personally. It went pending same day, I'll keep the thread updated with results. Yes, very easy

I think the real question is whether it will continue to be faster. There seemed to be an initial batch when it was first released that cleared with a few months, way faster than paper forms. After that, I haven't seen much talk about stamps coming back. I've been a few threads where people reported that they had specialized one examiner for e-forms as a pilot, so the initial batch went through pretty quick. So, I don't know if they release the eforms to all the examiners, so they get stuck in the pile, or whether everyone and their brother started e-filing, creating a giant back log just for that.

I assume eForms are for trust only?


edit: found my answer

"If the submission of the form requires fingerprints, photographs, and the Law Enforcement Certification, the submission cannot be done using eForms - the application must be submitted on paper to the NFA Branch"

I agree and hope the trend continues, seems they are still running in the 90-120 day range, NFATracker.com ATF Form 1 and Form 4 Tracking website

You can now click on the dots on the graph, it will show you that form info, looks like all the examiners are now doing e-forms.

I efiled two Form1s on 9/3, received the stamps via email on 12/5, just a tad over 3 months.

Hmm, well, maybe I should look at getting a trust then. I was thinking of submitting the paperwork on two new SBRs, so maybe the extra cost of a trust will be worth it if I can cut the wait time to 3 months instead of a year.

Question on e-file...

Does the dealer have to start the form 4?

Yes, if your dealer has possession of it.

 

[Rookie]

I was afraid of that. Gotta go the long route...

 

[hvacrguy]

How does one e-file is that something that the dealer does?

 

[Boomstick]

If you have a NFA trust you can efile

 

[Rookie]

I have a trust. Can I e-file my form 4?

 

[Boomstick]

yes

 

[Rookie]

How? I can't get the first page to let me fill in any information.

 

[Rookie]

The only thing I can do on the first page is select FFL. I hit the drop down box and it doesn't give me any option.

Chris,

If I finally get off my rear and come into the shop to get a 30cal can, can I/you/we do eFile for an Individual transfer, or would I need to go the paper route?
