I am a seasoned enrolled agent but feel so stupid asking this question:

[baflowers]

Could someone give me a reference as to where I can find the due date for a calendar year estate return filed. My ProSeries letter is stating the payment is not due until October. I have looked and looked and all I get are extension due dates of which I already know. Thanks for any help and no condescending replies..

1041?

California?

1041s are due by the 15th day of the 4th month after year end, so calendar year estate 1041s are due April 15.

Extended due date for 1041s was changed a few years ago to September 30, not October 15.

Calendar years for estates are not very common, so I have to ask: what date did the decedent die?

[sjrcpa]

and this year April 15 = April 18 and September 30 = October 2.

For the final payment for 22? Is October??

[sjrcpa]

Is this a CA estate?

Or, was an extension filed?

[Accountant-Man]

Answer my question, please: date of death?

[baflowers]

Just Federal, yes Form 1041

s, I know the due dates, filed an extension. He died 4/13/21

4/13/21 Just trying to find out if my program is off for date of payment in their letter I enclosed. Showing payment due in October 2023.

The software defaults to the extended due date. The tax was due in April.

Interest and possibly penalties are accruing so your client should pay ASAP:

The default year-end date for an estate starting 4/13/2021 is 03/31/2022, unless a short year ending 12/31/2021 is chosen.

You said it was a calendar year estate, meaning the first year was 4/13/2021 through 12/31/2021. Was 2021, IF NEEDED, filed using that end date?

Was the SS4 requesting the estate's EIN filed using 12/31 as the annual end date?
