Why is the 2018 1040 Schedule 1 in draft form?

The solution only works for e-filing in draft form. 

Select Client 

go to e-File 

got to e-File Support Tools

go to e-File Disable Error 

Once you try to e-file it, you should be able to bypass the error.

Same problem here, as well as Schedule E instructions. 

Both are Critical Diagnostics.

Same here. Anyone get an answer on this yet? 

Edit: Just got off the phone with Lacerte support and it's due to changes the IRS issued yesterday. No definitive ETA on when this will be cleared up, but he was guessing "fairly quickly". Fingers crossed!

I'm having the exact same issues.  If anyone has an update keep us posted.

This constantly changing of old tax laws is absurd.  
What changes did the IRS issue yesterday that affect 2018?

Here's an idea: Let's pass some laws that change 1998 tax rules!

Why not.

Good grief.

I just got off the phone with Lacerte. The agent had me bypass the "Federal Schedule 1 is included in Draft Form" critical error by going to E-File - E-file Support Tools - Disable e-file Error.

I am receiving two critical errors that my Schedule 1 is in draft form and Schedule C is final but instructions are in draft form. I have the most up to date version. I am not e-filing just going old school.

I too keep getting the Sch 1 in Draft form, even though I am paper filing (Streamline). I see the form was updated on April 7, how can I remove the Do not file watermark? Thanks.
