We’re pleased to let you know of new Form 1042 e-filing enhancements that will go live today.
This release introduces:
- A new selection modal allowing you to choose which generated Form 1042 (Calculus Data or External Data) to e-file
- E-filing availability for Form 7004 (Extension), following the existing submission workflow
Full details for each update are outlined in the release notes below.
- Form Selection for E-Filing (Calculus Data vs. External Data)
If an admin generates Form 1042 using both available data sources, Calculus Data and External Data, they can now choose which version of the generated form to e-file.
When selecting E-file, a new form-selection modal will appear. This modal allows the admin to:
- Preview each generated version of Form 1042
- Select the preferred version using the Select Form button
After selecting the desired form:
- The admin is redirected to the standard e-filing screen
- They will be prompted to provide the required information
- They must complete the e-signature of Form 8879-WH to successfully submit the e-file
This enhancement ensures greater flexibility and control when multiple versions of Form 1042 have been generated.
- Form 7004 (Extension) E-Filing
E-filing for Form 7004 (Application for Automatic Extension of Time To File Certain Business Income Tax, Information, and Other Return) is now available.
When choosing to e-file an extension:
- Admins will be directed to the standard e-filing screen (no changes to the existing process)
- They will complete the required details to successfully submit the extension electronically
After submission:
- The e-filed Form 7004 can be previewed in the E-file side panel within the 1042-S list
This update expands e-filing capabilities to include extension filings while maintaining a consistent user experience.
