Extension Report status descriptions

Once a firm delivers an extension to a client, the Extensions Report page tracks its progress through the signing or review process. Review each status that can appear in the Status column.
Once an extension has been delivered to a client, it appears on the Extensions Report page.
The Status column shows whether the delivery was successful and keeps track of where the extension is in the signing or review process.
When a user archives an extension, it moves to the Archived Extensions page, but the statuses are identical to the Delivered Extensions page. See the following entries for more information.
note
New extensions are processed and managed in the Tax Returns dashboard.
The Extensions Report is only used to manage extensions delivered before January 24, 2026.
