Anybody else notice the IRS Form 8879 is not printing the Date at the bottom?

Part III, ERO signature | Date (name prints but Date is blank)

How to report this to maybe get it updated?

Thanks!

Mine never has, if yours has done it before, there must be a choice in Tools > Options somewhere.

The state of CA 8879 does print the date for me, but the federal one doesn't.

Same here. Never has printed on the IRS form but prints on the IL form.

If someone knows how to remove it on the IL form, please let me know. I would prefer to manually add the date when I actually sign the form.

In ProSeries Professional there is a check box on the 8879 to generate today's date on all signature lines

not sure if they can be set to auto fill when generating a new file ???

Preparers actually sign and date those things?🤔 🤔

@IRonMaN The date on there is very important as you know. From what I learned at seminars/webinars, if IRS visits tax pro then they may ask to see a sample of those forms, and they check the dates very carefully. Once in a great while, elderly people or others put down wrong date, and I make them correct it and put in correct date. Better to be safe nerd, than sorry nerd.🤓🐕☝️

I get that, but the question was about the ERO signature line.
