That's just it. The extensions were mailed on time! Where
they came up with the 22nd is beyond us. <G
Some clients got the actual extension request form back and
some did not. And one got a letter addressed to just the
wife, postmarked and cancelled, but without an envelope.

(March 15th), and all 1040's filed on time (NO extensions!)
First year for either. And what's more, no more 1120's
this year, since I got rid of two corporate fiscal year
clients this past December.

Coasting the rest of the year.

Unless y'all need some help up there. (grin)

That is so interesting, because normally, IRS would not even
notice the absence of a return until years later. Only
reason they noticed the wrong date of March 22nd, was
because they DID get the extensions.

Sure makes you wonder.

<<The IRS should then deduce the error and process it

considering our recent problems with the IRS, that doesn't
make me feel any better. <G
Not related to the 941 forms, we sent in approximately 67
corporate extensions on March 15. Since Friday around noon,
we have contacted (or been contacted by) about 60 of them to
discuss the notice they received in regards to late
extension requests. Seems as though the IRS thought the
extensions were mailed on March 22 instead of March 15 and
denied the requests. However, being an accounting practice,
we still had the receipt for mailing them. It was dated, of
all things, March 15!

Fortunately, the vast majority of our clients do make their
tax deposits on time and they will match up to the amounts
due each month. The only one or two who won't will be those
who make the deposits with the 941.

We don't do that, but I certainly agree that it would be a
very good reason to do so. <G

We did that on the ones we did today and evern just went
online and did a few the other day using the 2006 form.

So, how was your tax season, Harlan? Ours was,
well....interesting. <G

Here is a GOOD reason to also fill out that section about
"May the IRS contact... so and so about the return?"

IF you did this, There's no harm in contacting the IRS
practitioner hotline, outlining your problem to them, and
ask them to contact you about it. Quite possible they can
take corrective action there without any amendments. As for
those not yet filed, just take a magic marker something
like that, and change the year above to 2006.

Good to hear from you again, Carol.

If IRS processes it as 2005, and if first quarter 2005
filed, it will reject. Then they analyze it. If the clients
made deposit payments, they should match up between the
return and the account for 1st quarter 2006. The IRS should
then deduce the error and process it correctly. Beyond
possible t/p contact, the only only scenario is their
considering it an amended 2005, in which case a notice will
go out. Then you contact IRS and ask them to fix it.

We use software to prepare our client's 941 forms. In all
the rush of tax season we forgot to update the software. We
just noticed TODAY--April 21--that all the 941s we have done
so far have 2005 printed on them instead of 2006.

I have two questions.

Question one: if we are sending in these forms in April
2006, is it really going to make a difference if the form
itself says 2005 if it says first quarter?

Question two: what would be our best way to correct this?
We estimate that about 30+ clients have already mailed in
their 941s. And a second part to that question would be if
we send a correction, could we send all of them together?
