Question
Not eligible for electronic filing-Expat tax return
This is my first expat tax return (2019 tax return),
I have a client who is a U.S citizen living abroad, he is employed by a non-U.S company, no W-2, but has a statement that shows his yearly salary. When I tried to efile , it says:
“ not eligible for electronic filing”, reason is : “all the following lines of form 1040 have zero value”:
Line 7b, line 8b, line 12b, line 13b, line16, line 19
On the form 1040 that I prepared:
Line 1 has his wage
Line 7a has the exclusion amount ( negative #)
Line 7b has zero
The way I prepared it , is it correct?, shall I do paper file?
Thank you
