Form 172

[PWeller]

I just talked to a customer service rep regarding form 172 which is not final as of yet.      She indicated that it would not be final until March 6.    This is not acceptable, as my farmers are due March 1.     I have several that need that form finalized in order to meet the March 1 filing deadline.

You evidently didn't get the memo.  For the last couple of weeks there has been a stampede of tax preparers with farming clients complaining about the issue.  The date is still March 6 so if the stampede didn't have any effect on the issue I'm guessing your disapproval of that date isn't going to make a difference either.

I saw others in the PS Facebook group that were just attaching the PDF from IRS website and turning off error checking at conversion and EFiled the returns.

But do us a favor and help settle arguments, by telling us how much tax your NOL farmers paid on their 2023 returns, to be so concerned about avoiding an ES penalty for 2024.
