    E-file a 2007 tax return

    We know they won't accept a prior/late year ( e-filed tax return What about if it is a 2007 tax return and it is not late. For example, a corporate return of which the fiscal year began on October 1 2007 and ended on September 30 2008. The tax return was due originally on December 15 2008. But they extended it so the tax return is due on June 15 2009 now. So if we e-file this 2007 return today, it is not late. But will the system still consider it a prior year late tax return and refuse to accept it just because it is a 2007 return?

    Since the fiscal year is indicted on the return

    the only way to find out is to go ahead and try to efile it, don't you think?

      if you would advise the board on your result. I do not know the answer to your question, so your posting the result would be a good educational factor for me.

      Thanks in advance,
      Just because I look dumb does not mean I am not.

        Another suggestion

        Check with your software company and if different also with wherever you send the returns when you electronically file them.

          erchess, can you help me too? Looks like not many people around here now.

          Do we check the 'final' box in the last tax return of a C-corp which has elected to become a S-corp? Noted the S-corp will keep using the same EIN of the C-corp.

          Or if anyone knows the answer..please help. Greatly appreciated.

                Business Returns

                Business returns and all non-personal returns are e-filed under a different system, the MEF Modernized E-File system, which accepts returns from all years and amended returns, also. Probably a lot of "but's" on that. And, they were having trouble accepting Form 1065 for some time recently.

                Unless the corporation is dissolving with the secretary of state, you don't check the "final" box. Sounds like it's still an on-going concern that elected to be taxes under subchapter S.

                  I answered the question previously?

                  The answer is no. It is not the final return for the corporation.
