Post-41F NFA Stamp Tracking thread

I've never known ATF to be slow in cashing. Doing what you paid for, yes...very very slow, but they're usually pretty fast at cashing the checks.
That's only because they're not the one that cashes them. :D
 
I have had no problem with them cashing mine. They have all been cashed within a week of Scott sending them in. Normally within 4 days.
 
I'm sure they attach a voucher to the application after the check is removed or bank card processed,
similar to when you send in a payment with your IRS 1040 income taxes.
 
That's only because they're not the one that cashes them. :D

OK, "the entity who is in charge of processing the checks on behalf of the ATF is very efficient at cashing them" unlike those who do the rest of the process....:D

It MUST be the ATF who does the envelope stuffing as this seems remarkably inefficient and slow.

Truth in Reporting, John.

I just don't think a lot of people realize the PO Box is BofA. They process the payment before the ATF even sees them, and then they're forwarded to WV.

Or at least that's how it's been explained to me. I think they're input once they arrive in WV...as opposed to BofA sending them somewhere else in GA to input, then on to WV to be processed.

...and as mentioned earlier, you can't check your account to see if a check is cashed. They convert it to an ACH/EFT type transaction, so you have to look for a $200 debit instead of the check number.
 
That would be like the mortgage meltdown, everyone gets approved.:)

For some time now on the new form 1's and 4's the tax stamp is capable of being paid by credit card. I would highly recommend against using card to pay for tax stamp. When they run the card they only try 1 time and that is it. If your card company thinks the charge may be fraudulent and declines the transaction, well BOFA does not try to contact you or try to run the card a second time. They just send it up to Martinsburg with no payment attached and the application shows back up after about 2 months disapproved and you have to start over again.
Only know this an issue we had with a couple of customers.

Good point Scott, I have an option on my account to create a card number for one time and or dollar limit, pick an expiration date.
When it is used I get an alert on my account approved or not approved. I guess when they scan a check they also try it one time
when they convert it to EFT.

Jk... It was cashed today. Was starting to worry! And now the wait begins again
Mine was checked today. Not totally stoked that it took 3 weeks after they mailed it out but it is what it is! When I called their compliance guy said mine was in a package with 184 others. I'd imagine the clerks "get to those" when they can vs. a single postage stamped envelope.

So for data in this thread:

Wanna know how to make a BUNCH of people mad? Post a pic like this, of a Form 4 for a trust:

:eek::mad:
 
Dang. I have an individual cashed on Dec 6.. wonder if that means I might be soon
If there was any rhyme or reason to it, yes. But there never has been...so who knows?
 
Would like to see the rest of application to see what type it really is. I highly doubt it is a Form 1 or 4 trust application that went through the normal process.
 
It's probably where one of the huge stacks got split between the processors.
 
This is my first can. No corrections or anything. Form 4 trust. What other info do you need?

Edit: this was with the barcode system

2 F4, Trust, 1 RP

Pending 8/21
Approved 3/7

Just over 6mo, 203 days. I'm super happy with 6mo on a trust right now!

I'd been hearing it was taking most people about a month to go pending (often reported as the same date as check cashed) using the SS Form 1 process. Not sure if F4s are the same or not.

I made my one call today for the four @TARHEELSTATE filed for me.

1x mailed 1/9
Pending 1/16

3x mailed 1/20
Pending 1/26

I always call ~2 months after they're mailed to make sure they're in the system. That confirms nothing screwy happened between check being cashed and them being sent to WV. Won't call again on these...

So, you asked when it went pending or are you going by the date they tell you it was received? Or are those the same?

It's all the same to me. The way she worded it was "we received that on the 20th/26th and it's pending".

Ok. That's how they've relayed the info to me.

I have one pending 10/10/17. I'm starting to get a little antsy. Lol. I have a little rifle begging to be finished...
 
3 Silencers purchased 11/17/17, received by ATF 12/14/17 are pending.
Edit** Single person trust.
