Can I mix typed and handwritten entries on Form 5472? My software only printed '202' in the year field and I added the '5' by hand.
I used a filing tool to generate my Form 5472 and pro forma 1120. When I printed the forms, I noticed the year field only shows '202' instead of '2025.' I handwrote the '5' to complete it.
Also, a few other fields were left blank by the software and I filled them in by hand with a pen. Is it OK to have some fields typed and some handwritten on the same form? Will the IRS reject my filing for this?
