Ind Module Ref #6865 ?

[melinda]

Under Critical Diagnostic Warnings I have a Ref #6865.

It states the year of the taxpayers death must be either 2017 or 2018.

I have a client that passed in 2019 before filing her 2017 income tax return.

The executor has now asked if I can prepare and set the return for 2017 up for efile.

Can I ? Wondering if Ref #6865 truly prevents a return from being able to E-File?

The fact that e-file is closed until mid to late January of next year should tell you to not bother with a stupid software glitch that also forces this to be a paper filing. Be sure to include form 8948
