I use ProSeries and I want to convert an S Corp. from a 09/30/22 Y/E to 12/31/22 so that I can file a final Form 8752 to obtain a large refund. The issue is that the instructions call for a statement to be inserted at the top of Page 1 of the 1120S: "Section 444 election terminated" in order to change the Y/E.
The software doesn't have a way to do this and allow for E-Filing from what I can see and I want to avoid paper filing due to the potential long delay in the return being processed and the resulting long delay in receiving the Form 8752 refund.
An individual in the ProSeries community suggested adding a PDF to an E-Filed return with "Section 444 election terminated" written on it. I'm worried that might not meet the requirements. Any thoughts?
Merry Christmas and a healthy 2023 to all of you.
