The following diagnostic is generating:
The IRS e-file specifications do not support Form 2210, Annualization of Self-Employment Income for both the taxpayer and spouse. This return should be filed as a paper return.
Solution:
If the Annualized Income Method is used on a return where both that taxpayer and the spouse have SE income, the return must be filed as a conventional paper return. The IRS e-file system can only accept annualization of SE income for either the taxpayer or spouse. Note: The Annualization Method treats SE income as part of total income. If input is entered in Screen 8, Penalties and Interest, in the section labeled Annualized Income Installment Method, Lacerte will include SE in the computation Form 2210, page 4, Part I via Part II. This is in accordance with the Form 2210 form instructions for page 4, Part II: If you had net earnings from self-employment during any period, complete Part II for that period to figure your annualized self-employment tax. If you are married and filing a joint return and both you and your spouse had net earnings from self-employment, complete a separate Part II for each spouse. Enter on line 13 of Schedule AI, Part I, the combined amounts from line 34 of both Parts II.
