To the Lacerte software programing team: Currently if an individual income tax return (Form 1040) is required to include Form 8978 (Partner's Additional Reporting Year Tax) it cannot be efiled. As this is becoming a common form that individual partners receive to report income adjustments related to prior year partnership returns, it is inconvenient not to be able to efile. Please automate Form 8978 so that individual tax returns that are required to include this form can efile for tax year 2025.
