The return must include the computation of the tax liabilities on lines 1 and 2, and, if applicable, the Key
Corporation AMA and Throw Out payments on lines 3 and 4 and the Tentative Professional Fees on Lines

ed on Line 9. The application must be postmarked on or before the original due date of the tax return.

Request for extension of time for filing a return must be signed by an officer of the corporation, an accoun-
tant authorized to prepare this return, or any duly authorized agent of the taxpayer. Tax preparers who
fail to sign the return and provide their assigned tax identification number shall be liable for a $25 penal-
ty for each such failure. If the tax preparer is not self-employed, the name of the tax preparer’s employ-
er and the employer’s tax identification number should also be provided.
