| I've been practicing for 12 years and for a long time I put copies of the extension behind the signature page. The current place I'm working puts them at the very back of the processed returns (behind K-1's) etc. What do you guys think? Probably doesn't matter too much - just wondering what the general consensus is. Thanks! | |

| Are you talking about the client's copy? Or are you talking about returns that are paper filed? On those there is no need to put the extensions, except for certain states like PA where the extension copy is the front page.
I put the acceptance of efiled extensions [9325] in the back for the client. | |

| For years, I put a drop or two of my girlfriend's perfume on them, and stapled them diagonally across the front. I had all the keypunch operators in my district wearing the same perfume they enjoyed the scent so much.
Then, around 10 years ago, I was able to get a Japanese lady real cheap (H1B Visa, like Microsoft does), and she folded them into whooping cranes, and stuck them in the letter last thing. They'd open into a beautiful bird when opened. I had to cut this out during the Bush Administration because a foreign bird was considered Un-American, and I didn't like the idea of spending my summer in Guantanomo Bay. | |

| I don't e-file. But I put extensions behind the signature page of both the mailing copy and the client copy. | |

| For all of my tax returns, regardless of e-filed or not, I put the extension as the last page of the return. After all, it is just for informational purposes and doesn't need to be there. I find it very annoying when I get a copy of a tax return from somewhere else and the extension is the second page of the return. I don't want to look at the extension, I want to see the numbers on the tax return and find it very annoying to have to be flipping past the extension to get to what I want to see. I would think that most people reviewing tax returns (i.e. banks, underwriters, etc.) would also find it annoying to have to be flipping past the extension as they review the return. | |
