CCH Software News - Individual, Partnership, Corporation, S Corporation, Fiduciary, Exempt Organizations (1040/1065/1120/1120S/1041/990) Deadline Information
Dear CCH Customer:
Please read the following carefully as it contains helpful information regarding the upcoming filing deadline.
Customers who plan to submit returns or extensions for electronic filing should be aware of the deadlines below to ensure timely filing.
CCH must process your returns or extensions before midnight (CDT) on Wednesday, July 15, 2020. However, due to the time involved in transmitting to the IRS during times of higher volume, we recommend that you release your returns for transmission no later than 9:00 PM CDT on Wednesday, July 15, 2020.
Important: Linked state returns are not transmitted until the IRS acknowledgement is returned for the federal return. Because certain states no longer honor the vendor timestamp as the state transmission time, we further recommend that you release your state returns for transmission separately from the federal return, particularly if you are not going to be able to get the full return filed by 9:00 PM CDT. This allows the state return to transmit without the return of the federal acknowledgement. The easiest way to submit the state return separately from the federal return is to uncheck the federal return on the export window.
Rejected Returns/Extensions
If the IRS rejects any of your returns or extensions, you are given an additional amount of time to correct and resubmit as follows:
Individual - A corrected return or extension must be resubmitted no later than midnight (CDT) on Monday, July 20, 2020, to be considered timely filed.
Fiduciary, Corporation, and Exempt Organizations - A corrected extension must be submitted no later than midnight (CDT), five calendar days from the date of the original rejection. A corrected return must be retransmitted no later than midnight (CDT), 10 calendar days from the date of the original rejection to be considered timely filed.
