Extension 1120S - extra infomration required in 2023

Why for Tax Year 2023 is it necessary to fill out the # of  W2's associated with an 1120S before you can file an automatic extension?  That information does not transfer to any line on an extension.

Please note that providing the number of employee W-2s issued for 2023 is not a mandatory requirement when electronically filing an extension. The W-2 error usually appears when the "original return" checkbox and the "extension" checkbox are both checked at the same time (under the "Choose which Returns to be Filed Electronically" section). If you uncheck the "original return" checkbox, you should be able to electronically file your extension without being prompted to enter any W-2 information. Its also worth noting that the program behaved the same way last year.  We  hope this information is helpful.

So instead of fixing the programming error that requires number of W-2s to file an extension, you prefer each preparer spend quite a bit of extra time unchecking the box to e-file the original return and then rechecking it when we prepare the returns?  That's poor customer service.

"That's poor customer service."

That's Intuit.
