The preparer phone number is in the included in the preparer/firm info screen.

Box is checked on 1120S to make preparer third party designee. Problem is the phone number doesn't auto-populate.

I have used override to enter the phone number. The return keeps getting rejected for e-file with the override where I have included the phone number.

Likewise, the e-file is rejected when I leave the phone number blank.

I don't know if there is a solution other that Intuit fixing the bug... But how can we even bring their attention to the problem?
