You may be right @IRonMaN 

Are you using 2022 ProSeries for 1040s?

Do you know where, how to access the Electronic Filing Information Worksheet?

Thank you @IntuitGabi 

To access the "Electronic Filing Information Worksheet" you need to search for "EF Info Wks" to take you to it.

Scroll down to the bottom of the 'EF Info Wks' until you see:

These forms are not supported in ProSeries. You may print a completed form to mail with your Form 8453, please check the applicable box(es).

Form 8864, attach the Certificate for Biodiesel ..................... [ X ]    (Mark the box with an X.)

Then use the "QuickZoom to Form 8453" to access Form 8453.

The Form 8453 is now activated.  Name and address fields are populated.  Scroll down to:

[ X ]  Form 8864 - appropriate certificates and, if applicable, the appropriate reseller statements for biodiesel, renewable diesel, and sustainable aviation fuel claims  (Mark the box with an X.)

Ok @IntuitGabi  I have taken all of the required steps in the previous post.  Form 8864 has been filled out, and Form 8453 has been activated.  The Electronic Filing red ERROR warning is still showing in ProSeries as follows:

NOT ELIGIBLE FOR ELECTRONIC FILING 

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 be filed electronically.

How do I bypass the e-file ERROR warning and upload the return to Intuit for transmission to the IRS?

@The_AntiTax_Man It's my understanding you submit Form 8453 and attach Form 8864 because ProSeries does not support the e-filing of Form 8864. It seems like its one or the other. Have you tried attaching Form 8864 and related documents to the return instead of including Form 8864 in the return? 

To assist to our fullest, we'll need a Sanitized file. Please contact support so we can guide you through e-filing or paper filing Form 8864.
