If you have attached the form, ignore the diagnostic.

This is an efile critical diagnostic.  Will it still efile?

I couldn't figure out why the diagnostic appeared since the 3885 is part of the return and didn't have this issue in 2022. I attached a copy of the 3885 anyway and used the to E-file Support Tools to disable the error. I'm waiting to see if has been accepted.
