Has anyone been able to electronically file form 511 through ProSeries Professional?

We continue to receive an error message and after deleting and retyping return. 

Downloading all updates to the software again.  Form 511 still says DO NOT FILE.

Any comments are appreciated

I keep trying this also, but it says "Do not File".  I thought after July 14 the forms were finalized, and are now in our software, but we cannot e-file yet.  Not sure what is holding this up.

If it helps, you have until September 15 to file these MD returns without penalty.

Lacerte says you can efile them but the paper form is not ready for prime time yet. Would be nice if ProSeries informed its customers as to what is going on. (Surely I jest)

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

The Maryland Form 511 is currently available for e-filing.  The red "DO NOT FILE" at the top of the form in the software is intended to warn the user that the form is not available to be printed and mailed at this time.  Proseries is currently working with Maryland to secure the necessary approvals on the printed version of the form.  

For example - if you run a print preview of the Form 511, the user will see a watermark on the form stating, "DO NOT FILE" and "E-FILE ONLY".   See picture below.  

Please let us know if you continue to have difficulty e-filing the Form 511.

Its seems absurd that ProSeries/MD think it is acceptable to e-file a return without providing a printed version to the client for review. That makes zero sense.
