I'm having trouble e-filing a 990 short period return due to change in accounting year. It is not a final year return the entity still exist. I can't seem to get proseries to e-file it. Any ideas?

Does the reject say a short year can't be efiled? What does the reject say?

That used to be the case. Haven't had the situation in a while.

The more I know the more I don’t know.

It doesn't reject it gives an error saying you cannot e-file short period not final returns. However the law says all 990 need to be electronically filed.

Per IRS Publication 4164, specifically sections 1.6.2 and 1.6.2.3, Form 990 short period returns (except for short period final returns) are exempt/excluded from the electronic filing requirement under section 6011(e)(3) and the corresponding regulations, due to IRS limitations that currently prevent the returns and attachments from being filed electronically. Please refer to Publication 4164 for details. You may also contact the IRS Tax Exempt and Government Entities Customer Account Services at (877) 829-5500 for more information on how to proceed with filing the return.
