MargaretMort Posted April 7, 2010 Report Share Posted April 7, 2010 I haven't done an extension in at least 20 yrs--small # of clientele, no big businesses--and I am not quite sure what to put on the 4868. The clients are talking to a lawyer about bankruptcy and doesn't want to take the time to gather up all the necessary paperwork so I can do the tax return. I told them that I would need W-2, 1099-R and rental property amounts so I would have a ball park figure for the 4868. They have always had a large refund in the past, would expect that to be the case this year. Can I use the tax liability from last year as the figure and say no taxes owed? Thanks, as always, MM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MargaretMort Posted April 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2010 My wayward client is coming in Friday so I won't be doing an extension after all. Good news for me. MM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lion EA Posted April 7, 2010 Report Share Posted April 7, 2010 Margaret, I'd do exactly what you propose for a client with a stable history of refunds. We make do with the information they provide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
