E-file Status Change (State)
This webhook provides real-time updates on the processing status of 1099 and W-2 forms filed with the state agencies.
This event type also applies to correction filings.
Steps to Configure
-
Log in to Developer Console
Navigate to 'Settings' → 'Webhook Notifications'. -
Add a webhook
Click 'Add Webhook' and select the event type 'E-file Status Change (State)'.

-
Provide a callback URL
Enter a valid HTTPS callback URL (maximum 500 characters). Ensure that your callback URL follows these best practices.- The API validates this URL by sending a sample JSON payload.
- The webhook will be activated only after your endpoint responds with an HTTP 200 status code.
-
Configure a notification email
Provide a notification email address. TaxBandits will use this email to alert you if webhook delivery attempts fail.
Statuses available
The following are the different status codes available for tax forms filed with the state agencies.
- SentToAgency - The state form has been sent to the state DOR and is awaiting the result.
- ACCEPTED - The state form is accepted by the state DOR.
- REJECTED - The state form is rejected by the state DOR.
Receiving webhook requests
Once the webhook is configured and the callback URL is successfully authenticated, TaxBandits will send an HTTP POST request to your callback URL whenever a filing status changes.
Each request contains a JSON payload with submission details and record-level status information.

Responding to webhook requests
Your application must respond with HTTP 200 OK to acknowledge receipt of a webhook request.
- Any response other than 200 is treated as a failed delivery
- HTTP redirects (301) are not supported and are treated as errors
- Your endpoint must respond within 5 seconds, or the request is considered a timeout
If a webhook delivery fails or times out, TaxBandits will retry the request up to 9 times within 24 hours.
Validating webhook requests
Before processing a webhook payload, you must verify that the request originated from TaxBandits.Refer to the Webhook validation documentation to learn how to authenticate incoming webhook requests.
