E-file attachment error

We are getting an "unable to e-file return due to "Other" as being the type of attachment".  This is happening on both forms 1120 and 1120S.  There may be others, but haven't ran across them yet.  Any idea if another update is coming to fix this?

Still not working after running all updates several times today 2-22-20. when can we expect a fix for this?


We released an update yesterday for the 1120 and 1120s forms to resolve the error “Entity Name This return cannot be filed electronically with PDF’s attached as type ‘Other’, the updated version number is 2019.9.0.1. Forms 1120 and 1120s should not get the error when attaching a PDF. Keep in mind, you cannot e-file if you select “Other” when attaching a PDF for any form so you must choose a type.

An update should be released this afternoon to address this issue with 1041 returns.

Experiencing the same problem. Error reported for attachment - says it can't be marked as other bur error shows up regardless of designation. Up against the wall with some client filings.

Which update? I have ran and installed updates four times since noon today.  None of which have fixed this error.  I also make sure updates run each morning before I get started. Is there a specific update that I'm somehow missing?
