This was my first time using the software and I really like it! I had already prepared the Form 990, but needed a platform to file it electronically. You made it easy to replicate the return with its new features.
Jackie
Swenson
This is the second year I have used the software and it was easier to use than last year. Also the use of indicators where it was necessary to use schedules was helpful. The third year will probably be easier.
Melanie
Lyons
Very good experience for transmitting to the IRS. I appreciated having to fill in only relevant numerical slots, and also the ease of making corrections and moving between pages. The audit function was very helpful, too.

When is the deadline to file Form 8038-CP?
The due date to file Form 8038-CP varies depends on the bond rates:
- Fixed Rate Bonds: A Form 8038-CP filed for fixed rate bonds must be filed no later than 45 days before the relevant interest payment date. Form 8038-CP may not, however, be submitted earlier than 90 days before the relevant interest payment date.
- Variable rate bonds: when the issuer knows the interest payment amount 45 days prior to the interest payment date, Form 8038-CP may be filed within the same timelines as fixed rate bonds (45 days before the relevant interest payment date but no earlier than 90 days before the relevant interest payment date). However, a separate Form 8038-CP should still be filed for the variable rate bonds.
