The filing instructions stating the federal return will be electronically filed when the return is not set up for efiling.

So, in part part VI... the little box  in the Original Return column on the Form 1041 line doesn't have the box checked??

if it doesn't, then you have fiddled with the standard Client letter and removed a 'trigger'  code or something.

No, the box isn't checked in Part IV.  I also did not make any changes to the standard client letter.  The letter has both the paper mailing instructions (which shows the address for mailing since there is a payment due) and below the mailing address it states the return will be electronically filed.  It's providing both.  I think it may be a glitch.  Just wondering if anyone else had this problem.  Thank you.

i have not had that problem at all with any of mine.  but then again, i e-file all of my 1041s.

 

just go to your tools>>Letters>>manage specific client letters>>create new letter (you have to name it.. i use 'csl' for every one if them), and edit it by deleting the below code and wording, and then save. and print client specific letter.
