samingeorgia Posted May 10, 2011 Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 About the first of April, I attempted to create an efile on a return and it wouldn't create. I called ATX and was told that they did not have this form approved. This is a Form 1065B - Electing Large Partnership with 250 +/- partners, so there will be penalties out the wazoo if this return is not efiled. I extended the return. Is it possible to get a form approved this late in the year? If push comes to shove, I guess I'll sign up for one of the high-dollar packages (Lacerte, UltraTax, etc.) on a pay-per-return basis, but I hope it won't come to that. Any ideas?

I thought mandatory e-filing only applied to form 1040. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samingeorgia Posted May 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2011 No, for a partnership with over "x" partners, e-filing is mandatory. Update: I heard from ATX yesterday and they said that they have no plans to make 1065B e-fileable, but that if I was so inclined I could make a request in the "suggestion box" ay myatx. Needless to say, I'm pretty disappointed. I'll be calling the big boys later this week. I have a colleague who swears by UltraTax and I'm familiar with it because I do some contract work at his office. It ain't real user-friendly and it's horrendously expensive, so I don't think I can use for the run-of-the-mill tax returns, but they have a PPR option.

Lion EA Posted May 11, 2011 Report Share Posted May 11, 2011 ProSystem fx has pay-per-return. I love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
