proof of extension

Recommended Posts

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.

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)

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.

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.

Yep.

 

drones.  Please "Check the Box"
