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 calculates late filing penalties and interest on Form 112, Page 3, or Form 106, Page 2. If this field is blank, it defaults to the original due date of the return.
If you filed the return before the due date, enter the filing date so the application can stop the calculation of the underpayment penalty as of the early filing date.
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 enter the variable [date filed f/t] in place of the variable [due date ASAP f/t] in the filing instructional inserts. If this field is blank, the date defaults to the due date of the return (original or extended).
  • You need to enter interest rates for composite returns in
