Form 2210 Global Option (Miscellaneous) to have IRS calculate penalty not carrying to form

[PJP]

We have the Global Option (Miscellaneous) to have IRS calculate penalty.  Box C on Form 2210 is not automatically being checked.

Part of the problem could be that fact that the form isn't going to me ready until 3/17.

When do we start the counter on this one?

Based on taxpayer habits, I doubt if we will need a counter on this one 😬

That might only apply to newly created tax returns, not transferred ones.  Try playing around with that and see if that might be the case.  There have been a bunch of complaints this year about the 2210 so it's just as likely that the PS programmers just broke something that ignores the global option.  <shrug>

Thank you.  I remember that problem with other things before.  That makes sense 🙂
