Unfortunately that does not work either. CS says IRS does not support e-filing as an option in this case. Hmm.
If you break down the components of a K1 into separately stated items, each of them can generally be reported on a tax return without an EIN. Not necessarily on the correct line of the return, but from an income classification, yes. What I miss reporting independently is the partnership basis updating. ProConnect it seems does not have any "miscellaneous" statement like ProSeries, so even if I wanted to include that information (not needed, all income), I cannot.
So a judgement call - efile using the alternate method above, or paper filing?
Does it have Nores, that can be designated as a Statement? I'm thinking like the Lacertian that I am. ProConnect is based on Lacerte.
Well, this is not conclusive, but it may not be an IRS limitation.
I made the mistake of buying CCH ProFX, and testing this issue of omitting an EIN for a K1 worksheet does not appear to be a limitation in ProFX. I think Intuit may be wrong. See this article by IRS that is two years old now: National Taxpayer Advocate Annual Report to Congress 2021 (irs.gov)
If it is an Intuit limitation, I wish they would just admit it.
