This return is due in 11 days and every page shows "Do Not File" on it with a fiscal period ending on 9/20. These errors are preventing me from e-filing an extension. I have a 5472 to file as well and that can cost me $25k if it's late. I'm trying to get last year's $10k penalty waived because Intuit and the IRS couldn't help me file on time last year.  I'm starting to panic as I did 1 year ago. Thanks

You use the 2018 program, just like last year you would have used the 2017 program.

Hello again. I am now using the 2018 return to file tax year 10/1/18 through 09/30/19 and the top of the 1120 form shows 10/01/2018 through 09/30/18. Where exactly is the input field for this? Thanks so much for your help.

For full fiscal year, under Client Information > Miscellaneous Info > Fiscal Year End (MM). In your case, you'd enter 9 to produce 9/30/2018.

Why not file a paper extension?

use the beginning of the fiscal year to determine which tax year you will be preparing.

Yep.... but the issue at hand is that there will be TWO years beginning in 2019.  The short year (beginning AND ending in 2019, and then the full twelve month year beginning in 2019, ending in 2020.

Only one of those can be efiled.

I must have missed where the post mentions anything about a short tax year
