jklcpa Posted November 17, 2022 Report Share Posted November 17, 2022 I need to file a form 7004 for a short period 2022 final partnership return ending 9/30/22, so extension due date is 12/15/22. Forms and 2022 software won't be functional before the due date. Has anyone here used an online filing service for business extensions that you'd recommend?

Lion EA Posted November 17, 2022 Report Share Posted November 17, 2022 I just e-filed a 7004 for a short-year partnership that ended in 2022. ProSystem fx. The Federal e-filed fine with the start and end dates entered. CT wouldn't e-file with both start and end dates in 2022 on 2021 software. I was up against the deadline, so I used 12/31/2021 for the start date and e-filed the CT extension. I may end up regretting that when I prepare the return, if the CT extension doesn't match the return to CT, but both extensions e-filed that way.

Nope, not what I asked and not the software I use anyway. I already know that my software won't allow it, confirmed with support also, and the reason I specifically asked for a reputable online site.

Catherine Posted November 17, 2022 Report Share Posted November 17, 2022 I don't personally know about these companies, but a search showed at least three and they only charge $15-$20 per filing, and they are all authorized IRS e-file providers. https://www.tax2efile.com/efile-7004-form https://www.expressextension.com/business-tax-extensions/efile-7004/ https://www.taxbandits.com/extensions/file-form-7004-online/ Good luck, and let us know how it went!

Lion EA Posted November 18, 2022 Report Share Posted November 18, 2022 Can't you e-file extensions directly on the IRS and state's sites?. (CT allows you to enter data for a 7004 on its site, free.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I def want the IRS ack on this one too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jklcpa Posted November 19, 2022 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2022 Well, I'd already found the 3 online services that Catherine suggested and set up an account with the first one, Tax2Efile. I tried to fill in the company's data with the first one, and it appears that these providers may have the same limitation as our software, that a tax year filing with a start date in 2022 is not possible yet. I'm not going to waste any more time on this and will paper-file an extension and copy DE on it also. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
