( Also, if you have a one-state client where the state needs a different filing date than the Federal, but somehow Lacerte wouldn't have known it \(and often, Lacerte DOES know it, so you have nothing to worry about\), you can always use the "state due date if different" override field in Screen 4.1.  If you try to use that field in a multi-state corporation, though, you might wind up making all states look as...

( There is a way you can get separate state vs Federal letters. That way, you can just use the Federal letter, and let the State letter become scrap paper or something.
