The following diagnostic is generating: Taxpayer's name is being truncated in the e-file. The IRS may delay the posting of the taxpayer's return. Why is this now a critical diagnostic warning? Last year it was informational.

I don't think it's fatal for efiling.

The same thing is happening to us and it is a problem for us, we cannot abbreviate the name of the taxpayers anymore

@Car10126 Why can't you?

Give the client a copy with their full name. Truncate as needed to get it to efile.

Same Thing, When I short client's Name, it said the name does not match IRS Data base. This diagnostic used to be informational, now they move it to Critical and it prevent Efiling which seems so unnecessary.

We are experiencing the same thing. Cannot make clients name shorter because it doesn't match the IRS database.
