Form 8879-PE is blank in partnership return form 1065 for 2021

Followed instructions from previous posts; updated my software.  Still no 8879-PE in return. Can only generate blank form and fill in with over-rides.

Looks fine here. You're sure you've checked the 1065 EF box on the Fed info worksheet?

[Rivertowncpa]

Yes I did, just double checked my entries again.  Form still blank.  Frustrated and confused.  This return only.  Just efiled extension successfully until I can figure this out.  Thanks for answering.

so no issues with other 1065s? Yes, thats very odd.

Did you find a solution?  This is occurring in my program as well. And yes, I have refreshed updates and the federal form 1065 e-filing has been selected.

I did not find a solution.  I produced the 8879-PE using over-rides on a blank form because none of the solutions worked.  Problem on two partnership returns.  Followed instructions but forms did not populate no matter what I input.  Makes me very nervous to over-ride but I cannot figure out what I am doing wrong.  If I do figure it out I will post.

Have you call proseries support?  They can use the "Smartlook" tool to see 

your screen.

I did and they do not know what is causing the problem.

Hi there,

If you un-check the Extension box on the Partnership Info Worksheet, does the 8879-PE generate? 

I'm not sure if that's expected behavior (I'm more experienced with Lacerte) but it's what I'm seeing on my test file.

Yes, once the IRS accepted the extension, the form populated. Thank you!

[Rivertowncpa]

Thank you, that's the solution.  On two extended partnerships, the 8879-PE was generated after the extensions were accepted by IRS.  Thanks to all who responded.
