I was reviewing a tax return (UltaTax) and noticed that although the 3rd party Designee box on pg. 1 of the new 1040 is checked, the information does not fill-in on Schedule 6 where there is a space for the PIN number and other third party info.
Called support and they looked it up - they say that for paid preparers, only page 1 is supposed to be checked and Schedule 6 does not need to be filled in. Interesting.
I am concerned about not having a PIN and need to confirm that what they told me is accurate. I will try and research it when I have more time.
