Anybody else receive the tax stamp but the pdf file contains the word "draft"?

[Silken]

Ok this is getting frustrating. I had my forms sent in for two items in my nfa trust. In about 4 months time. i did receive the tax stamps....BUT on one of the pdf files it contained the word draft. I haven't had much luck contacting them asking them to correct it....no response to email, etc. Anybody else have any ideas?

Pretty common issue. I usually send an email and use the ask the experts option. One of the two normally gets a response. The replacement form will probably have a new date.

Did you call? They have always answered the phone when I called.

email Gary.N.Schaible@usdoj.gov. Just forward the email you received to him stating what the issue is. In the past he has fixed them for me in under an hour.

This happened to me on one of my Form 4s. Since I work with electronic records for a living, I was able to open the .pdf in Adobe Professional and remove the "draft" wording with one mouse click. If you have access to this program, or if you know somebody who does, you can do it too.

I'd make sure it actually shows approved on the atf side if you do that. When I've had this issue the replacement had a new approval date. It's possible on the atf's side your "fixed" form is still in a draft state.
