I am receiving an error on the Texas Form 05-164 extension request when I have a combined group. It states that "Combined Entities must add affiliates to Form 05-166." This is already done yet I am still getting an error. Anyone else experiencing this? I can tell that Form 05-165 is populated, however when I e-file this I do not know if it is going to e-file correctly, especially if I override the error just to get this e-filed.

Has this been resolved? Some of my earlier combined TxFr extensions worked, but now I'm getting errors. I have already run updates.

@hlecpa @StephanieS Are you still experiencing troubles with this. I found some information that could be related:

-Open ProSeries
-click on the Update drop down from the homebase view
-click on \"select and update new products\"
-uncheck the boxes related the TX Franchise tax
-wait for the uninstall to finish
-Next, do the same thing except this time you will check the box for it to download the new version
Let us know if this resolved for you.

To bypass this error, so that I did not get the error message, in the "Rev & Recpt Wks", I put $3 million in "gross receipts or sales" box (you can put anything under TX). This cleared my error message. I will remove these amounts when I file the annual report.
