How come the printed form 8879 prints out as blank 'tax year", it does not indicate to the top right where it normally does for all prior years, what tax year it is. There is no where in the form that it indicates for what year the form is? Can this be fixed?

New year, new form.  If you want the date on it, you have to type it or write it in by hand.

The IRS changed the form.

There is a line next to "Part 1" that you are supposed to enter the year.  ProSeries SHOULD be filling in that automatically, but it is not.

I didn't notice that the year wasn't on it initially.  So to be consistent, I am leaving it blank.  The form has 2020 amounts on it and it is being stuck in a file with the 2020 returns ------------------- CAGMC.
