Issue with Form 4547

There is an issue with form 4547 in the Desktop version of TT.  In the signature field it puts the zip code of the taxpayer.  It also completes the address fields even if you check the box that the address is the same as the address used to file. When I filed the 4547 with my son in law’s and daughter’s tax return which I had completed for her, even though the rest of the return was accepted, the IRS sent a letter saying that the 4547 was illegible or had incorrect information.  It would be nice to be able to report these issues without having to make a phone call to Intuit.

    There is. You missed the pop-up message.

    as i read the instructions for the 4547, it goes with your return not the beneficiaries.

    That is correct.

    Making the election electronically.

    The fastest, safest, and easiest way to make the election(s) is to file Form 4547 with your current-year e-filed tax return.
