Question

Extended Payment Due Date

Why is the default client letter changing the Payment due date to the extended due date of the return. The extension is an extension of time to file and not of time to pay. Shouldn't the payment due date still be the original due date and not the extended due date. Has the program always done this, and we are just noticing it now?

You can make some adjustments to get things to be right. You can even have the system compute penalties and interest up to a specific date, but you can not control when the client will send the return, or when they will pay. I always just give them verbal warnings that they will be billed for any extra P&I after the agency gets the returns.

When you say you can make adjustments - this is on the individual return - correct?  I was hoping that there was something that would indicate to pay ASAP for all returns filed after the original due date.  I guess I just never noticed it before.  Thank you for your response.

In any return, in the Notes section you can add an opening or closing paragraph for the client letter. You could put the message there.
