General Information

Date return filed, if different from original due date
If the date entered here is later than the return due date, the application automatically calculates the penalty for failure to pay, the penalty for failure to file, and the interest on the underpayment. If this field is blank, it defaults to the original due date of the return. For S Corporations, the application prints interest and penalty amounts, if applicable, on the bottom of Page 1.
note
Use this field to customize the date due in the filing instruction inserts. Enter the date you want to appear in the filing instruction inserts, and then insert the date filed in place of the variable due date ASAP in the filing instruction inserts. If this field is blank, the date defaults to the due date of the return (original or extended).
Prior year tax
Enter last year’s tax for C Corporations. Enter last year’s passive income tax for S Corporations. The application uses this amount to calculate Form AR2220 exceptions and for Form AR2220, Part I, line 2b, and to qualify for exception (e) if 0 (zero) is entered and if the Prior year less than 12 months field isn't marked.
Qualify for farm exception
Enter X to qualify for exception (1) on Form AR2220.
Exception for casualty, disaster, or other unusual circumstances
Enter X to qualify for exception (4) on Form AR2220.
Exception due to reasonable cause

Suppress penalties on return: Underpayment of estimated tax
Enter X to suppress the printing of Form AR2220 and the calculation of the Form AR2220 penalty on the return. The application prints Form AR2220 if this field is blank and the underpayment penalty is due.
note
The application prints Form AR2220 whenever a penalty exists, even though this is inconsistent with the form’s instructions. If the underpayment of estimated tax suppression checkbox is marked, Form AR2220 does not print. To suppress the penalty, but print the form, enter X in the
