I have a married couple and the wife has a foreign bank account.  I completed their joint return and then created a file with just the wife's FBAR filing.  I am trying to eFile and it is not picking up the FBAR.  I believe I have all of the correct boxes checked and there are no errors on the FBAR.  Any thoughts?

Could you please clarify what you mean of: "It  is not picking up the FBAR". Also is it ProSeries Core or Basic?

It is Basic.  When I select Efile, it does not give me FBAR as an option to file electronicallly.  It only shows me her federal return, which I don't want to file. 

Thank you!

In Professional, its further down the fed info worksheet, it doesn't show up in any drop down lists like for the states.

Go back out to the EFCenter, do you see the FBAR in the Pending list?   EF it from the EFCenter, not from within the client file.

Check the Box For Electronic Filing of Form 114 within the Federal Information Worksheet 1040 just below the State and city returns to file electronically section.

Make sure you select the State on the left, and check on "Foreign Bank Report Form 114"
