8879 1040 date default

[ff]

Is the a way that works to put today's date for the preparer on form 8879 on the 1040? 

[dkh]

If you check the box on the 8879 for Check here to generate today's date     it enters for taxpayer, spouse and ERO

[Ephesians3-14]

But no way to check that box globally? I don't want to have to go into every 8879 and check that box. Need a global selection.

[dkh]

Nope, no global that I know of.

[ff]

I only want the date for me, the preparer, not for the taxpayers.

[dkh]

There is no way to auto fill just that date.  Has to be manually entered or written in when you sign the form

[ff]

Right.  I'm here for ProSeries, not the other way around.

Works for business returns, but not 1040's.

I give up.

Thanks, though.

You're welcome.   Have a great week.
