Question

c-corporation return due date redux

Why has Lacerte not fixed its notation that a Straight-line corporation with a year that end 9-30-24 has a deadline of 12-15-24?  According to the instructions it is not what the IRS requires.  The instructions for an 1120 return say the 15th day of the fourth month, so January 15.

Only fiscal years ending  IN JUNE have a filing deadline of the 25th of the third month.

This issue has been raised before.

    Are you using 2023 software? This seems to work fine with me. 

    Maybe you are using the spiffy new 2024 software which would be for Corporations with tax year beginning in 2024. (a) Software not ready for prime time and (b) wrong year for a corporation that had a year beginning in 2023.
