carolynm Posted April 13, 2015 Report Share Posted April 13, 2015 Do we need form 8878 for all efiled extensions that we enter the pin for? I get a lot of customers who call and ask me to file and I comply-do I need to get them to sign an 8878...what a PIA! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lion EA Posted April 13, 2015 Report Share Posted April 13, 2015 I think, but don't trust that today, that you use 8878 when the client is authorizing a direct debit with their e-filed extension. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jklcpa Posted April 13, 2015 Report Share Posted April 13, 2015 Lion's correct. You can e-file extensions with refunds or with balances showing where the client isn't paying in with the extension. Only those that are authorizing a withdrawal for a payment needs the 8878 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
