You can make it so NO date prints by the preparer signature.

Tools > Firm/Preparer Info, make sure the Print Date on Return box is unchecked.

Theres no option to lock it though.

You can override the date on the Form 1040 by going to the 1040/1040SR Worksheet - scroll down to the date in the Paid Preparer information

There is no paid preparer information on the 1040/1040SR wks........or at least on mine. Is there another place to look?

They added this option, but when I have it checked, it makes some weird coding appear for the date on the letter/invoice for NEW clients, I honestly havent even spot checked if it actually freezes the date. I always have a printed or PDF of any return thats been filed, so I dont pay much attention to the date when I open the file and print later.

Would be nice if ProSeries would just change it back for the 1040 as they do with state returns and 8879's so that you could just overide the date which essentially locks it.

Can you hear this suggestion ProSeries?
