Can I efile return with Notice 2014-7 adjustment?

[jnkniffencpa]

Client received a W-2 for the wages with taxes withheld. I entered the W-2 as normal and then entered the entire amount as an adjustment in Other Income. The program won't allow e-file because of the withholdings. Is there a way around this?

I have one of these and what I do (I dont care who yells at me that its not right!  😁), I only exclude enough of the income from the W2 to cover the withholding.  

So if the withholding is 1400, I exclude enough income to leave 1401 as income on the return.  The standard deductions eats that up, so no taxable income.

Outcome is still the same, we just dont have to mail anything in, Ive been doing it this way for many years, never got any IRS flack!

That is a good idea ... except for the fact my OCD would kick in and it would really 'bug' me to do that.   🤣

It bugged me more having to file on paper, my OCD is good with it 😉
