Voucher due date policy
Learn how Returns determines voucher due dates when forms include printed dates or default to the federal due date.
Returns show voucher due dates to taxpayers as part of the signing process. Some forms have printed due dates, while others don’t.
The rules for how Returns selects a due date are as follows:
Action | Rule |
|---|---|
The Voucher Form setting is turned on and the due date is printed on the voucher. | Returns captures and shows the printed due dates. |
The Voucher Form setting is turned off or the due date is not printed on the voucher. | Returns show the federal due date for the form. |
