I am getting an error message when attaching a pdf in Form 1041 under "other". The message is "this submission contains a form or schedule which MEF is not accepting as a binary attachment".
This is a grantor trust and I wanted to attach the 1099. Has anyone run into this error? I guess I can just delete it but I have never had any issue with attaching 1099's before.

I'm getting this error too, for a non-grantor / regular trust and the error goes away when I remove the Sch D Form 8949 stock trades PDF attachment. However we need to include this so I don't know what to do. We filed other trust returns with Sch D details attached without a problem, so I'm not even sure if that's it except error goes away if removed.

There is a problem with the software.
Do not use the word "form" or "schedule" in the description.
Remove the attachment. Save the program. Then go back in and just put "1099".

Did you get out of the return and then come back in? Why not just use Schedule D and put ST Covered Sales in the description and then attach the sales by just saying "ST Covered Sales" - don't use the smart worksheet - delete it.
You won't like the next option by at this point I would extend the return and just deal with it after April 15th.

Debi H CPA,
Removing it, getting out, back in, and reattaching using a different description worked, thank you! I named it "8949" and it was fine.
