I was assembling a stack of folders for pick up this morning and noticed that date after the ERO's signature is not printing this year.  Is there a reason for this or just another glitch?

Pull down Tools; Options.  Then go to Firm/Preparer Info.  Scroll down under ERO info and there's a checkbox for "Print date on return?" right about the CAF#.  Is that it?  (I dunno, I always sign & date in ink).

Ive always had to put the date along with my signature on the 8879...I didn't know you could make the date show up on the 8879 automatically.

Mine is the opposite, last year I had to enter the date on the 8879, this year there is a box to click on the 8879 to enter "Today's" date. Liking that!

I just had a signing on one I checked the box in the middle of the form for.  Then it also puts the date on the taxpayers signature line.  So, that's not going to work, sometimes they will sit for a week before they actually make it in to sign.

Maybe it would be easier just to paper file the returns :grin::grin:
