There's no reason Form 20 shouldn't be available eFile...

tell the NFA Branch that please.

Been working to make that happen. Including the funding issue which was discussed last week. Can't provide any details on an open forum, so please don't ask. Be patient.

Just got a Form20 disapproved for travel to MD. Reason states "SBRs Prohibited in MD".

ROFL. Nowhere is that spelled out in the law. Ridiculous.

you are not alone. An 07 I moonlight for has had several 4s come back in the last year dated, "signed", and marked approved but WITH NO TAX STAMP on the form. I know because one of them was mine. 2s are taking forever to process, which in turn holds up 3s and 4s. incompetence at best, active resistance to performing duty at worst. I no longer am nice. I demand a supervisor whenever contacting NFA branch. And have the paperwork (and law, if pertinent) handy.

Moonlight? You in the service?
