I sent an extension for an 1120S and the program rejects and states that it can not be filed after March 15. The IRS has changed due dates to May 15 nationwide and June 15 for Texas. Why will it not go through on efile.

Glen,

The nationwide filing extension until May 17th only applies to individual taxpayers, it would not apply to business tax return filers.

Business and individual taxpayers in Texas that were impacted by the winter storms do have an extension until June 15th.  But Proseries is unable to update the software for these scenarios.

Wow! Finally an answer but there is no way I can get clients to send me extension info today. It is embarrassing for a professional to tell a client that the software I am using will not update per federal guidelines and we have to go to the trouble to mail an extension and hope it gets opened by the IRS. Good luck with that! Very disappointing after all we have had to deal with this year.
