The one or two times only that the 2210 was an issue this year for me I have checked the box to have IRS compute the penalty and the error message went away and efiled just fine. 

 

Thank you for replying.  I did that and it was also suggested by ProSeries when I called in and I am still unable to e-file.

I had a new client this evening, the 2210 showed up because they owed money, once I put in their tax liability from 2020 (which was much lower than 2021) the 2210 error went away and I was able to Efile it.

I think it has a 2/10 update release date 

It only causes problems for me if I have a client who owe's enough to compute a penalty. And those folks aren't mailing the check until April 14 in any case, so that file just goes in a pending stack to be filed when the form is available.

This happens every year, different form, but I will have a (very) few returns that have to go in a "waiting for forms pile".

It's not a big deal after 40+ years. (BTW that pile is right next to the "Waiting for Clients to find the last 3 pieces of information pile", which is much more of a PITA than the "Waiting for forms" pile) you just learn to deal with things.

I have those piles too. The holding for form release pile and the missing information pile. Already the piles are getting too large and I now have them stacked in empty paper boxes. Just had another 2210 to go to the hold pile. I love having to explain when they ask why tax season is open but the forms are not ready.  I'm not embarrassed any longer I just throw the IRS under the bus.
