Form 1120 telephone number of preparer error not able to clear

[tadepalli1953]

my firm information has phone number but an error pops up says - telephone number of preparer missing.  I put it manually it comes in red letters and efile gets rejected.

Check to see if you have a  phone number entered for the preparer as well (in the Firm/Preparer info), I think I remember people having a phone number issue when the preparer is the 3rd party rep but no phone number has been entered

If time is of the essence, I'd override the checking function. I don't like to file returns that have an override, but this one doesn't have any effect on calculations.
