New (tax) year, new help!

Fixed Assets and UltraTax CS 2023 help is now on Help and Support. We're still moving articles, but you can find most content for the 2023 tax year there. Continue using the Help & How-To Center for tax years 2022 and older.

Per the IRS Form 4868 instructions, do not include a copy of the extension with the return when you file.

If you want to include a copy of the extension with the return when printing the client or preparer copy: 

  1. Choose Setup > 1040 Individual.
  2. Click the Federal tab.
  3. Click the Other Return Options button.
  4. On the Return Presentation tab, mark the Print copy of extension with tax return checkbox.

Note: The extension only prints with the client or preparer copy of the main return and you must have previewed, printed, or e-filed the extension prior to printing the client and/or preparer copy of the return.
