2021 Short Year Return

[benfouts]

I need to file a 2021 1120S for the period 01/01/21 thru 03/31/21.  Can I do that in Pro Series 2020 software (I'm a first year user)?  I prepared the 2020 return in the 2020 software.

You can if you are able to have the short year begin in 2020, otherwise you will need to wait until the 2021 software.  

Try having a start date be 12/31/20

Keep the Corporation open until nearer the end of Year 2021.

I know Wisconsin requires the return to be processed on the Correct year forms and would require Extensions to be filed until current year forms are out.
