General Information

Date return filed
If you enter a date in this field that's later than the return due date, UltraTax CS automatically calculates the penalty for failure to pay, the penalty for failure to file, and the interest on the underpayment. If you leave this field blank, it defaults to the due date (original or extended) of the return.
