“Client Note 1 - The return was originally filed on paper in December 2021. A copy of the date-stamped form from the IRS is included for verification. When the return was prepared in December 2021, the e-filing system was shut down for annual maintenance and we were unable to e-file which is why the return was mailed in. In May of 2022 the IRS returned the paper filed return because they were required to e-file. We are now e-filing the return but it is beyond the extended due date. We are requesting a waiver of any penalties under the circumstances.”
