    Federal Final Review Error

    ChiHoang
    Level 5

    My client has foreign earned income on line 1h of form 1040 and foreign earned income exclusion (from form 2555) on line 8 of form 1040; therefore, lines 9, 11, 16 are zero. The return is not eligible for electronic filing. How can I override this error for electronic filing?  Thanks
