I feel like I'm in a twilightzone...NOBODY's saying a word nor is complaining about the following EFile error (which is popping up in MY computer and maybe nobody else's):
"IRS e-file exclusion: Name(s) and Address(es) of person who received Form 1098 must be entered. If Other Interest amount is not associated with Form 1098, paper file this return." (QUOTE-UNQUOTE!!)
Is this to say that any finance charge on any item purchased on time will cause mandatory paper file?
Wouldn't that affect...oh... 50 million returns or so? Not possible! Possible?
Anyone entering anything on that line would necessitate paper filins since 1098 forms do not exist on anything but primarily mortgage loans. Right?...and that's what line 16a is for.
Maybe programming error?, except the exclusion error appears uniquely written for this line. Anybody??
