I efiled a batch of 2021 extensions and they all accepted. My client received received an IRS letter today saying the extension was for the taxpayer and not the spouse. I did not go into the return just submitted the return thru Extension batch. Does anyone know if the efile extension submitted on a joint file is for both taxpayers? The ACK file lists both names. They ultimately filed separate in 2021.
A joint extension covers both spouses.
You'll have to 'splain it to the IRS.
Thank You. All these IRS letters that clients are getting, is for the birds! Wish we could talk to someone, sure would save a lot of time.
