    E-File Form 1040NR

    In the past, and also earlier this year, I e-filed Form 1040NR's, including NR state returns for CA and AR, with no problem0.

    I just finished a late 2020 Form1040NR with Hawaii Form N-15.

    The Critical Diagnostic Warnings include:

    e-file: Nonresident alien or dual status alien returns are not allowed for e-file.  A nonresident alien or dual-status alien return must be filed as a conventional paper return.  (ref. #51788)

    Was the e-file availability for 1040-NR changed?  If so, when did the change take place?

    Or, is it because the return is late?

    @Reba1341   Thanks you kindly for your suggestion.  That 800 number is for Intuit Accounting Community less Lacerte.  QuickBooks, Quicken... and a host of others.

     

    I talked to Lacerte.  There was NO answer for the diagnostic.  I had to bypass it when I get the okay to e-file from the client.

     

    Thanks again.
