Attached Federal form to 1120S as pdf using the Type of classification as "Other" but Proseries will not accept. It creates error message negating ability to file electronically. Any correction coming.

Form 8925 insurance disclosure. But it doesn't seem to matter the form used it happens when using Other category/type. error message about MeF not accepting binary attachment. It will accept if I choose one of the pre-filled types. Could mislabel as work around but this hasn't been problem in past 10 years so again another programing issue.

Hi @WI FISHY Have you tried renaming the file and/or description of the PDF? If you selected Other in the Type column, enter a description of the attachment in the Form/Schedule and Description column. Here's some articles with more information:
