Lynn EA USTCP in Louisiana Posted August 6, 2019 Report Share Posted August 6, 2019 I have a large 2018 tax return that I'm trying to efile. It won't go through as the efile times out. Any suggestion? If it won't EF then I'll have to print for the client to paper file via USPS snail mail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee B Posted August 6, 2019 Report Share Posted August 6, 2019 Do you have a significant amount of pdf attachments ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynn EA USTCP in Louisiana Posted August 6, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2019 The federal has 52 documents. There is one federal attachment - the S corp SH basis statement 2.6 mg. Hmmm, now to figure out how to condense it - who knows how to do that ? Edit - it looks like I have to upgrade to a different adobe version at $14.99 / month to add the condense file feature. Paper file it is then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abby Normal Posted August 6, 2019 Report Share Posted August 6, 2019 There are numerous free PDF optimization options, but most of them are online and you shouldn't upload a PDF with a Social Security number on it. https://www.google.com/search?q=free+optimize+pdf Edit: Here's some offline optimizers: https://www.google.com/search?&q=free+optimize+pdf+local Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B. Jani Posted August 6, 2019 Report Share Posted August 6, 2019 I will remove the attachment and Efile the return. If accepted, i will mail the attachment. Will not hurt. My 2 cents. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lynn EA USTCP in Louisiana Posted August 6, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2019 I did as B Aja I suggested. The attachment was s corp shareholder basis worksheet. But the tax return had the very same basis worksheet. Efiled and it went through as did the state return. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
