The FY 2016 Form 471 filing deadline is Thursday, May 26 — just 14 days away!\u00a0 The reason they extended the deadline is because of the amount of time it takes to complete the new Form 471 and required EPC modules.\u00a0 So please, please do NOT wait until May 25 or 26 to begin your application!\u00a0 They’ve given you these extra days for a reason — you will need them.<\/p>\n

As of today, here is a status of PA’s 471 filings:<\/p>\n

Applicants:\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 579<\/p>\n

471s:\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 995<\/p>\n

FRNs:\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 2120<\/p>\n

Based on these figures, I estimate that about 500 Pennsylvania applicants still need to submit 471s.<\/p>\n
