Enter the date the return is electronically signed by an officer of the corporation. 

Enter the date the return is electronically signed by the ERO. This does not get included in the electronic file, but the application uses this date to complete the date signed by the ERO on Form 8453-C/I/S or 8879-C/I/S. This will default to the date you entered in the Signature date field if left blank.

Electronically filed federal returns include information from this field as well as information from the General footnote field in Screen 1120 in the electronic file.

Enter the amount of time (in minutes) that you worked on the return outside of UltraTax CS. This gets added to the time within the software, which is automatically tracked. If the state taxing agency requires it, the total time spent will be included in the electronic file. At this time, the IRS does not require this information for corporate tax returns.
