Too many attachments to efile?????

[nancy2]

So, because of the K-2 and K-3 pdfs I now get an error that says the file is too large to be efiled????  Anyone have a solution for THAT?

Wait and efile in the summer?

What a mess.

Someone posted on another list that their client received a K-1 with a statement attached that the K-2/K-3 would be available in August upon request.  I thought this was a pretty good approach.  Doesn't hold up the K-1 recipient from filing if they don't have an 1116 filing requirement.  If they do, they're not holding up everyone else.

Paper return.  Unemployment is raging because of inflation from high oil prices found only in this country, and the Administration is looking for ways to make work for people.

Seriously this is becoming a mess for everyone. 

Have a wonderful Day!

I previously posted that a client has a .pdf of 18,000+ pages of crypto transactions.  File is way too large to attach and I'm certainly not mailing 3.6 cases of paper.  Haven't figured that one out either.

"Data available on request"  

That's what the rich people do

I actually received a K-1 from a publicly traded partnership.  It was marked as having a K-3 attached.  But there wasn't one.  I don't care.  I don't need it.  Did give me comfort though that anything I do is going to be accepted.

@BobKamman Going to be interesting to see what they require next year.  Seems like this has been such a sh*t show they are going to have to do something.

@dascpa   So, looking at my pdfs, I realized that the actual K-2 and K-3 file size was huge.  So....  I printed them.... yes, printed them ... 60 pages for the K-3.  Scanned them again in a much lower definition and reduced the size of the file dramatically.  Of course, they aren't pleasant to read but you can make them out.  Let the IRS have fun with that!  It went through when I took off the old attachments and put the new ones in there instead.  

Btw, I had to do them by hand because the ProSeries features didn't work.  Got error after error trying to use their worksheet.  Gave up.

😊😊😊 You think someone at IRS is really going to look at them?

@BobKamman  Don't know.  Not my problem.  🙂

You can use a PDF program to shrink the size of the file (lower quality).
