Multiple Form 8853

Both taxpayer and spouse each have a LTC policy and received 1099-LTC this year. Can we really not electronically file their returns? I am getting a diagnostic but it doesn't make sense that I wouldn't be able to electronically submit it.

What does the Diagnostic say?

The more I know, the more I don't know.

I am getting the same error.

Diagnostic says:

#875 A maximum of one form 8853 is allowed for e-file.

#3727 Form 8853: More than one LTC is not allowed for E-file. Must be filed as a paper return.

Is there any solution that works to e-file or do we just have to paper file? I ended paper filing last year.

I did speak to Lacerte on this yesterday and there is no work around. Paper filing is the only option.
