When using Turbo Tax to file for extension, the last page has the Consent to Disclosure. My situation is a bit quirky, and I don't want to get caught in case I don't quite understand.
My wife started a small business of her own, working with foreign exchange students. I ended up trying to keep the records and all that, and I got the self employed version of Turbo Tax. But it's new territory for me and has all become tangled and more than I can get straight, so I went to a guy who is a family friend, who is a tax accountant, to turn it over to him. But this is really late to start as his client, so I said I would use Turbo Tax to get an extension, something I did once before which seemed easy enough.
So my question is about the terms of the Consent.
I consent to allow my Intermediate Service Provider, transmitter, or Electronic Return Originator to send my return to the IRS and to receive the following information from the IRS: (a) Acknowledgement of receipt or reason for rejection of transmission, and (b) If delayed, reason for any delay in processing the form.
I presume they mean I'm going to allow Turbo Tax (or Intuit) to send my return to IRS, and to receive IRS's response.
Here's the question - if the extension goes through, does that tie my return (in IRS's eyes) to Tubro Tax in any way that would prevent my tax friend from taking over and doing the final filing of the return?
Did that make sense?
