    and carrying us through the April 15th individual return deadline and beyond. This call will discuss transition pricing strategies for this period as procrastinators press the final weeks of the tax season, and beyond. Did you know that extensions can be electronically filed? Did you know you can set up payment plans for your clients with balances due with the tax return filing? Did you know most amended returns are now able to be electronically filed? These late-season topics and general best practices for helping keep deadline day as smooth as it can be will be covered on this conference call. This is an audio only conference call, so you can just just dial in from your phone if it is more convenient than being in front of your PC. This call should last approximately 30 - 45 minutes and the recording archive will be available in your partner portal shortly following the live airing.[-]
