The following diagnostic is generating:
The computer date of {ComputerDate} will be transmitted as the taxpayer's e-file PIN authorization signature date when the tax return is electronically filed.
Solution:
The program will automatically use the current computer date when the return is transmitted for electronic filing. The program does not print the current computer date on Form 8879S, the computer date is only sent as part of the e-file. To remove the diagnostic: Click on the diagnostic from the Diagnostics tab. In screen 3.2 Electronic Filing>Paperless Filing Signature section enter the date on which form 8879S, IRS e-file Signature Authorization, was signed by the taxpayer in the Taxpayer's signature date field. The program default under Tax Return Options is set to No, which requires a PIN signature date be entered in the Paperless Filing Signature Section of the Electronic Filing Screen for all returns using the e-file PIN Signature. Changing this option to Yes will alleviate the need to enter the PIN signature date.
