A generalised scenario for the e-Filing Incoming process is outlined under Process Flow. This process documentation gives you an overview of the various stages of the Incoming process and shows you where the different e-Filing functions fit into this process.
This report initiates the polling of your secure mailbox located on the Government Gateway and the retrieval of selected forms (any or all of the following): P6, P9, P6B, SL1 and SL2, online.
