We really cannot e-file a 1040 that includes Form 3800?

[GNSCPA]

I would like to e-file a 1040 that includes Form 3800 for a business credit carryover but Proseries Professional doesn't seem to allow for this.  Is there a workaround???

I filed one a few days ago with no problems. Are you using ProSeries Professional or ProSeries Basic?

A little more info - the form includes a carryover for Employee Retention Credit Form 5884-A for hurricane related tax credits and the software does not support this credit carryover when e-filing,

Mine also had a carryover but it was for a credit that was allowed by the program.  I'm sorry I can't help you with your problem. It sounds as if filing on paper may be your only solution.

I'm getting this same error - can't e-file because there is an amount on 3800 for the ERC from an S Corp K-1.  Did you ever find a work around?

Please Add Form 8864 Biodiesel and Renewable Diesel Fuels Credit

Here is the efile Error Message generated in ProSeries:

Your client's federal return is not eligible for electronic filing due to the following reason:  You have an amount on Form 3800, Part III, Line 1l from Form 8864.  ProSeries does not support this information to filed electronically.  

If Intuit ProSeries would add the very simple Form 8864 to the software the return could be e-filed.  We've been asking Intuit to add the Form 8864 for years now to no avail.
