Fields & Buttons

Choose the appropriate option to determine the reply address to use on extension correspondence.

Notes

  • When the preparer address is selected, the taxpayer name will also print per IRS form instructions.
  • To set this option on a client-by-client basis, choose an option in the Address for extension correspondence field on the Ext  screen in the Payments folder.
  • These are new client options. Only new clients added after making changes will be initialized with these options.

Mark this checkbox to print the preparer's name on the bottom of Form 4868.

Mark this checkbox to include any projected estimated tax penalty calculated on Form 2210/2210F in the balance due on Form 4868 or 2350.

Notes:

  • If there is an entry in the Balance due on extension (Force) field on the Est screen, in the Payment folder, no estimated tax penalty will be included.
  • If this option is selected, any state extension processed also includes the estimated tax penalty in the balance due.

Mark this checkbox to create an electronic extension form without a tax liability or payment amounts. The electronic extension will include only the taxpayer name, address, and Social Security number. 

Clear this checkbox to only create an electronic extension with the total tax liability and total payment amounts based on the taxpayer's preliminary tax data.

Note: This option applies to electronic extensions only. Printed extensions will not calculate the total tax liability and total payment amounts when the Calculate extension field is blank, on the Ext screen.
