The following diagnostic is generating:

The state of Massachusetts requires that the Preparer's FEIN be present for all e-file business returns. If the preparer does not have a FEIN, they will need to use their SSN. Verify that the preparer's FEIN is entered in the Firm Information tab of the User Options. If the preparer does not have a FEIN, then they will be required to enter their SSN in the Preparer tab.

Solution:

Preparer had to enter SSN data in Preparers saved info to clear diagnostic; MA seemed to not be picking up the FEIN when Self-Prepared marked.
