Marie Posted April 21, 2015 Report Posted April 21, 2015 Client needs proof of extension for his bank. Is there a form or screen to print that shows it has been accepted? Quote
ILLMAS Posted April 21, 2015 Report Posted April 21, 2015 Yes, under the efile tab in ATX, highlight TP and go to e-file, click on display selected e-file acknowledgment history Quote
Lion EA Posted April 21, 2015 Report Posted April 21, 2015 I have mine set up to send me an email. I don't use ATX, but I do use CCH. Also, on the electronic filing status screen I can click on a return ID and get a printable and exportable pop-up that includes the e-Postmark date and details right down to each state acceptance (for the few states I can e-file extensions) and the Submission ID. I can do all that from within the client's return as well. Quote
JohnH Posted April 21, 2015 Report Posted April 21, 2015 (edited) Every time I've been asked for one, I just had the client send the lender a copy of the 4868. I've never had a question come back requesting any sort of proof of acceptance. (I like the path of least resistance) Edited April 21, 2015 by JohnH 1 Quote
Catherine Posted April 21, 2015 Report Posted April 21, 2015 I have sent clients those e-file ack's for extensions and had banks REJECT them -- but they'll take the 4868 with NO proof of filing. They are drones looking to check a box; do NOT ask them to think because for the most part they don't know how. 4 Quote
JohnH Posted April 21, 2015 Report Posted April 21, 2015 (edited) When you're confident you're dealing with drones, it's a good idea to know how to feed them in order to keep them fat & lazy. Sometimes they try to fight back when the worker bees start ejecting them from the hive. Edited April 21, 2015 by JohnH Quote
