short year duplicate efile

cpawayne

When there is a short period or change of year-end with two periods are in the same program, a paper return is required for one of the returns.  Instead of requiring one year to be paper filed, I suggest the program test the year-end in addition to the EIN of the entity in order to allow both returns to be e-filed.

Example: Short year 1-1-21 to 8-31-21 and next return 9-1-21 to 8-31-22 are both filed in 2021.  Currently one of these, usually the second filed, has to be paper filed.
