Unfortunately that does not work either.   CS says IRS does not support e-filing as an option in this case.   Hmm.

If you break down the components of a K1 into separately stated items, each of them can generally be reported on a tax return without an EIN.   Not necessarily on the correct line of the return, but from an income classification, yes.    What I miss reporting independently is the partnership basis updating.   ProConnect it seems does not have any "miscellaneous" statement like ProSeries, so even if I wanted to include that information (not needed, all income), I cannot.

So a judgement call - efile using the alternate method above, or paper filing?
