Maryland's e-filing system doesn't recognize a tax year beginning other than the 1st day of the month. They realize that may not match the federal return. Also, the ending date must be on the last day of the month.

- Go toOrganizerand selectGeneral Information.
- SelectBasic Return Informationthen theEntity Informationtab.
- Use theDatessection to enter different dates.
- Do a full recompute and re-create the e-file.
