2019 3rd party

[AdrianeD]

I am filing a 2019 tax return for a client. I am designated as the 3rd party in part V "Third Party Designee", but it shows up "no" on the tax return. How do I resolve this issue? The program is up to date.

Thanks.

Read the 3rd party section again, I believe is says to only fill it out if the 3rd party is someone OTHER THAN the paid preparer.

I did check. It does need to show the information or the IRS won't talk to me.

Thanks.

Sorry, you are correct! each year it changes!! 2020 shows the information!!

Thanks.

As long as the 3rd party designee checkbox next to the paid preparer section is checked, youre all good!
