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.

I really, really, really need Intuit ProSeries [PS] to add Form 8864 Biodiesel and Renewable Diesel Fuels Credit into the program.  I cannot e-file returns that contain Form 8864 because Intuit does not include the form in the PS software.  The IRS is terrible at processing paper returns which causes all sorts of problems for the client, and then for me.

Please add Form 8864 to the PS program.

Can I get some votes from my fellow PS users?  Thank you!

Form 8864 is a very simple form.  The info for my clients comes from their LLC K-1 and gets entered onto Form 8864, line 9.  Then the amount gets entered onto Form 3800 which is already in the PS software.  IF PS adds Form 8864 the returns can be e-filed.

C'mon people.  I really need this one. 

This tax form is literally 1/2 of 1 page. 

Please, I need VOTES.   -------------->

@John D Morrow CPA thanks for the vote!

Our firm is in the same boat as many others on ProSeries  not having the capabilities of e-filing the Biodiesel and Renewable Diesiel Fuels Credit Form 8864. We must file these returns on paper which no longer is an acceptable method to file since they may of may not be processed by the IRS. Therefore, Proseries must have some alternative method to get these forms e-filed that I am not aware of. Please provide me the method used by Proseries to e-file the Form 8864.

Thank you,

How to Generate Form 8864 in Lacerte

This article will assist you with generating Form 8864, Biodiesel and Renewable Diesel Fuels Credit, in ​Lacerte​.

Will Form 8864 now be added to Intuit ProSeries 2022 too?  When?

@IntuitGabiU 

My clients are not themselves producing Biodiesel.  They are receiving a Form1065 K-1 with their share of the Biodiesel tax credit reported on their K-1. 

See Form 8864 here:  Form 8864 (Rev. January 2023) (irs.gov)

For ProSeries:

Simply add Form 8864 and I will manually fill in the amounts on lines 10 and 11. 

Or, allow me to e-file if I attach a pdf of a completed Form 8864 before e-filing.

[IntuitGabi]

I'll look into this, @The_AntiTax_Man. 

[The_AntiTax_Man]

@IntuitGabi   I only need to be able to access lines 10 and 11 of the current [2023] rendition of Form 8864 to enter the K-1 flow through amount onto the Form 8864.  In ProSeries, the amounts that are to appear on Form 8864 are already correctly populating onto the correct line of Form 3800.

If ProSeries can add the Form 8864, or allow a pdf attachment Form 8864, it would eliminate a great many returns from having to be paper filed into the black hole of the IRS paper return processing department never to be seen or heard of again.  If we could efile these returns it would stop the deluge of computer generated IRS notices requesting that which they already possess. If these returns could be efiled I am certain that the IRS would be much obliged to Intuit.

Form 8864 is now available in Lacerte.  Please add it into ProSeries too.
