What does this really mean though for all the returns that were extended until January 3 due to Hurricane Ida issues in many counties in NY, NJ and elsewhere. All tax filings of returns, estimates, etc. that occurred or were to occur between September 3 and October 15 were automatically extended until January 3, 2022. This affects filings in the 5 boroughs of NYC as well as many large counties such as Westchester, Suffolk, Nassau, etc. and about a dozen counties in NJ. How long will this shut down be for. Can returns be prepared and submitted and held by ProSeries for filing upon the reopening of e-filing? How is this going to be handled. I would think that there are quite a large number of returns that this affects.
