Form 7004 - Multiple Extensions Filed in the Same Tax Year (12-09-2008) |
|
The Tax Year 2007 business rules prevent taxpayers from submitting a Form 7004 for extensions on multiple tax returns. For example, taxpayers submitting one Form 7004 with "Type of Return Code" 31 for the Form 8804 and another Form 7004 with "Type of Return Code" 09 for the Form 1065, received rejections for duplicate conditions. A taxpayer who needs to file TY2007 Forms 7004 for multiple form types, should submit only one extension electronically and submit additional extensions via paper.
The business rule has been corrected for TY2008. A taxpayer who needs to file TY2008 Forms 7004 for multiple form types may submit the Forms 7004 electronically. For example, taxpayers submitting one Form 7004 with "Type of Return Code" 31 for the Form 8804 and another Form 7004 with "Type of Return Code" 09 for the Form 1065 may file the Forms for TY2008 electronically. But the taxpayer may submit only one Form 7004 for each form type. So if the taxpayer files two Forms 7004 for “Type of Return Code” 09, the second Form 7004 will reject as a duplicate.
