Form 4868

[G-dog]

Form 4868 is listing my firm's mailing address, not the client's mailing address.  Is this happening to anyone else?

Somewhere it is set to do that. It is fine.

I don't think it's fine. I'm sending Form 4868 to the client. The extension voucher lists the client's name and SSN, but has my firm's address under part 1 (identification). This is happening on all 1040's. Seems pretty clear it's a computer programming error on the part of PTO.

Looks like it defaults to the firm address. There is an override on the 4868 screen that says:

Reply: 1=firm address, 2 = client address [override], placing a 2 on that field will give you what you're looking for.

Thank you.  Seems silly to have the firm address as the default.  On a side note, I'm glad there is this form.  The PTO phone and chat support are completely useless - they have never been helpful. As an example, I asked this question and his recommendation was to change my firm's address so the extension form would look correct.  And the worst part, he was really rude.
