However, remember that an extension of time to file your clients\u2019 returns does not mean taxpayers have any additional time to pay their tax. If there is an amount owed, they still have the obligation to make that payment by the original deadline date.<\/p>\n<p>As a result, taxpayers are either making a payment with their extension, or not \u2013 and this distinction will change how we prepare the extension with ProSeries.<\/p>\n<p>Regardless of the situation, the first thing to do when preparing just about anything within ProSeries is completing the Federal Information Worksheet. This includes entering information about the taxpayer, and the spouse and\/or dependents, if applicable. Also, by completing as much of the return as possible, ProSeries will calculate the current tax liability, and you will have a better idea of what the taxpayer will owe with the extension. After you have entered this information, you now have those two different situations to consider.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Extension is Being Paper Filed, and There is no Payment Amount<br \/>\n<\/strong>If your clients do not need to submit a payment with their extensions, then you can simply print their extension Form 4868 in HomeBase. You can even batch print for multiple clients at once. Select the clients you want to print extensions forms for by using \u201cCTRL\u201d or \u201cShift\u201d to select multiple files. Then, click on the \u201cFile\u201d menu and choose \u201cPrint.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-9803 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/taxprocenter.proconnect.intuit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/ps1.png\" alt=\"PS1\" width=\"332\" height=\"259\" srcset=\"https:\/\/taxprocenter.proconnect.intuit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/ps1.png 425w, https:\/\/taxprocenter.proconnect.intuit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/ps1.png?resize=150,117 150w, https:\/\/taxprocenter.proconnect.intuit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/ps1.png?resize=300,234 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 332px) 100vw, 332px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Next, click on \u201cBatch Print Forms\u201d under \u201cFrom HomeBase,\u201d and go to the \u201cAvailable Forms\u201d list. Select the forms you want to print and click \u201cAdd.\u201d Finally, go to the \u201ccopies\u201d field, select the number of each form you want to print and click \u201cPrint.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" size-full wp-image-9802 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/taxprocenter.proconnect.intuit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/ps2.png\" alt=\"PS2\" width=\"986\" height=\"689\" \/><\/p>\n<p>By printing the extensions this way, ProSeries automatically activates the extension for the client\u2019s file and checks the extension\u2019s \u201cFreeze\u201d checkbox. This will prevent the extension from updating when you make changes to the return later. After you have printed the returns, mail them according to the form instructions.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Extension is Being Paper Filed, and There is a Payment Amount<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>You will need to complete the Form 4868 worksheet in order to guarantee an amount being paid is generated on the form.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" size-full wp-image-9801 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/taxprocenter.proconnect.intuit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/ps3.png\" alt=\"PS3\" width=\"987\" height=\"549\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" size-full wp-image-9800 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/taxprocenter.proconnect.intuit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/ps4.png\" alt=\"PS4\" width=\"986\" height=\"268\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Open Form 4868. Under \u201cImportant Information,\u201d make sure you check the box to freeze the form. Again, this prevents any additional entries in the tax return from flowing to the extension. Next, enter any applicable entries in Part II, and then print and mail Form 4868.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Extension is Being Electronically Filed<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>As always, complete all applicable parts of the Federal Information Worksheet, but pay special attention to Part VII \u2013 Electronic Filing of Extension Information. Here, you want to check the box \u201cFile Form 4868 electronically.\u201d Then, click \u201cQuickZoom to Form 4868 to mark the freeze box and enter the amount paid with Form 4868.\u201d After you have checked the box to freeze the amounts flowing to the form, enter any applicable entries in Part II.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" size-full wp-image-9799 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/taxprocenter.proconnect.intuit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/ps5.png\" alt=\"PS5\" width=\"986\" height=\"234\" \/><\/p>\n<p>If there is an amount due with the extension, then you must complete part IX of the Federal Information Worksheet. If paying by check, select the \u201cNo\u201d box. If your client wants to make an electronic payment, check the \u201cYes\u201d box for \u201cUse electronic funds withdrawal of Form 4868 balance due (EF ONLY).\u201d Make sure that you complete the Financial Institution Information in the IRS Direct Deposit section above.

Remember, this date cannot be after the deadline. Verify the amount you are paying with Form 4868 and make any corrections on line 7 of Form 4868 if the number is not correct. Finally, review the \u201cPractitioner PIN Information for Form 4868\u201d and enter the signature date for \u201cElectronic Funds Withdrawal Consent.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" size-full wp-image-9797 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/taxprocenter.proconnect.intuit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/ps7.png\" alt=\"PS7\" width=\"987\" height=\"259\" \/><\/p>\n<p>If no amount is being paid with the extension, or if you have completed the above steps for electronic payment, then you are ready to review, convert and transmit the extension!

The first is by viewing the default \u201cExtension\u201d column within the HomeBase view. If you have frozen Form 4868, then this column will read \u201cYes,\u201d indicating an extension has been prepared for this client. The second way to view clients on extension is by viewing their status. This will tell you an extension was prepared and also allow you to see that the extension was filed. You can update this status by going to the Client Status Worksheets and checking the box for \u201cExtension filed.\u201d This will also include the date for reference purposes.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" size-full wp-image-9794 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/taxprocenter.proconnect.intuit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/ps10.png\" alt=\"PS10\" width=\"987\" height=\"96\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Clicking on either the \u201cExtension\u201d column or \u201cClient Status\u201d column will group your clients into their respective categories. This will allow you to view all of your clients on extension at the top or bottom of your client list. You can always save this view as the default view, or create a brand new HomeBase view by clicking on HomeBase and then either \u201cSave View\u201d or \u201cSave View As.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" size-full wp-image-9793 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/taxprocenter.proconnect.intuit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/ps11.png\" alt=\"PS11\" width=\"759\" height=\"109\" \/><\/p>\n<p>By filing an extension of time to file with ProSeries, you are giving yourself and your clients some extra time to gather information and complete the return. If you are filing the extension by paper or electronically, making a payment or not, ProSeries makes completing and filing the extension intuitive and easy in any situation. Moreover, when the extension deadline draws closer, ProSeries allows you to stay on top of your clients who have been extended so that you can use your time as efficiently as possible.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Editor\u2019s note:<\/strong> Want\u00a0more tips and tricks for ProSeries?
