I have a client who passed away between filing the extension and attempting to file the tax return (10/4/25). Arizona Form 131 is giving me an error which says "Date of Death must be between 01/01/2024 and Filing Date of the Return. Since the date of death is between those dates, how can I clear this error?

I ended up printing the return for the surviving spouse to file through the mail.


I finally turned off the error checking when transmitting the Arizona return and it went.

Can you enter a filing date in the software? I don't have PS available right now, maybe an entry in the area where late filing penalty is entered?

Answers are easy. Questions are hard!

I hunted for places to put a filing date and did not find a place.  But the (AZ) info worksheet does show that the return is extended to 10/15/25.  Thanx!
