ProSeries Frequently Asked Questions

IRS Gives Northeast Storm Victims Until April 26 to File Tax Returns

Products Affected:

• ProSeries
• ProSeries Express Edition
• ProSeries Basic Edition

On April 18, 2007, the IRS issued News Release IR-2007-92, announcing that taxpayers affected by the major storm that hit the Northeastern United States April 16 now have until Thursday, April 26 to file their tax returns.

Earlier this week, the IRS gave taxpayers directly impacted by the storm an additional two days beyond the April 17 deadline to meet their tax filing obligations without incurring late filing and payment penalties. After further assessment of conditions across the region affected by the April 16 storm, the IRS has decided to allow affected taxpayers an additional seven days to fulfill their tax filing obligations. For more information, visit the IRS Web site.

Electronic Filing

ProSeries does not currently support an electronic filing "disaster" feature. For more information, refer to the Frequently Asked Questions about the April 16, 2007, Storm Relief page on the IRS Web site. Below is an excerpt from that page:

"Q: How do people make an annotation on an e-filed return?
A: Some software packages include a “disaster” feature which allows the taxpayer to self-identify that they are impacted by the storm. But returns can still be e-filed under the extension if this option is not used or is not available."

Paper Filing

If paper filing a return or extension, be sure to write April 16th Storm at the top of the return or extension. This will identify the taxpayer as being directly impacted by the storm.
