Form 8879 - Error for Blank Return Year Field

[Taxes-by-Rocky]

Form 8879 now requires a tax year to be entered at the top of the form (so the taxpayer & preparer know/agree on which tax year the signature is for).

Please make this field show an error (red, pink, whatever) until a tax year has been entered by the preparer in that field.

I'm using the CAGMC approach - I'm leaving it blank.

I havent been entering it either, sometimes I remember to write the 2020 up in the top corner when I sign it, sometimes I dont.

I did go in and edit the client template, and input the 20 on the line so it shows up on all new clients, doesnt work for existing clients though.

I try to remember but a few slip thru.   I figure it shouldn't hard to match up to the correct tax return with the amounts on lines 1-5   if there is ever a question to which year it is for.
