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.

We are getting that diagnostic on a few returns too.  It wasn't there yesterday and none of those returns are combined groups, never have been.  Very weird.

How do you remove form 05-166, without creating a diagnostic error. 

[dmwBH]

Delete the affiliates from the combined reporting screen, screen 49.433.

then how do you file the affiliates?

Ours is not a combined group and never has been so there are no affiliates.  It's very strange.
