Corporate tax return

[taxguy4]

I need to file a short period return for a client which is due 5/15/25.   My solution is to copy  the 2024 form for this client, prepare the 2025 stub return using the 2024 form and paper file.   Anyone done this?   Do I need an exemption from the e file mandate?

Yep... you have the concept down.   Make sure you have plenty of white-out on hand.

It's a pain; be SURE to triple check any carryovers, and the depreciation computations.  

You should file that F 8??? explaining the paper file.  Last time I did it I used the "software doesn't support" excuse.
