[#1]

The following diagnostic is generating: e-file: This return includes a Form 05-166, Tax Affiliate Schedule, or a Form 05-177, Common Owner Information Report, with no tax form. Per the TX Franchise tax instructions, if the combined group's annualized total revenue is less than the no tax due threshold ($2,270,000) for the year, the Affiliate Schedule and/or the Common Owner Information report is not required to be filed. For electronic filing purposes, please remove the Form 05-166 and/or Form 05-177 before electronically filing any information report. Alternately, include the Form 05-169 with the return by overriding the franchise tax calculation method.

Guess i have to call lacerte.

Same for us, appears to be just S Corps for us.  I submitted a service ticket to lacerte and attached a client file.

Spent an hour on the phone with Lacerte yesterday, it's clearly on their side.  Today the diagnostic wording has changed but still a Critical e-file diagnostic that is not applicable to the return(s).

Same for us.  Sounds like a Lacerte programming error.  Texas franchise is just really messing up this year.

I had 3 TX S corps, 2 went through fine but the 3rd one had this diagnostic.  Nothing that I can see is different between the 3.  This is so frustrating.

The one that failed is a sole shareholder, no combined group, same as the other 2.

dmwBH or Jkg1, did they give any indication of when they might fix this?
