The 2210 still has a problem just got a reject saying Part II A needed a 85% Waiver description

So over in TurboTax they have the same 2210 rejection as we do since the Friday update...this was a post from a Mod in the Lounge… this better not be true for us!!  Ive got a return rejected that had a required payment of $4993 and he paid in $6007 between withholdings and estimated payments....hes got no penalty and shouldn't need to paper file.

Rejection code from the IRS: If Part II Box A is checked and you are eligible for the 85% Waiver, your return cannot be electronically filed.  

Please review Instructions for Form 2210 from the IRS website.

Page 2 under Wavier of Penalty, it states: “If you have an underpayment, all or part of the penalty for that underpayment will be waived…”

Under Tax Reform Wavier “…If line 9 of Part I is more than line 6, complete the 85% Exception Worksheet below to see if you meet the conditions to be eligible to claim the waiver. If so, you must check Box A in Part II, write "85% Waiver" next to Box A, and file page 1 of Form 2210 with your return to request the waiver.

To e-File with Box A checked in TurboTax Desktop, please look at this instructions per this TurboTax FAQ (see attached).

If you are in TTO, because there is no forms mode option, customers must print and mail their return.

This is the result of tax reform. We understand this is a pain point for customers and we continue to seek more clarification from the IRS.

Thank you, all!

I have a working workaround for the "85% Waiver" bug.

This is either a turbo tax bug or an IRS bug. The error that returns is saying that you need an explanation page along with the 2210, so let's give it one.

Open the 2210 form, press any "Explain" button on the form, this creates the explanation form for the 2210. Enter the description "85% Waiver".

Resubmit and it should be fine.
