E-filing state tax returns when attachment of other state return is required in ProConnect Tax

ProConnect Tax will automatically include the other state tax return with the state return in the e-file when required as specified in the state's form instructions and e-file specifications. The program will generate a diagnostic if a copy of another state's return can't be included but is required by the state. If this diagnostic generates, save a PDF copy of the other state's tax return and attach the PDF.

1. Go to Input Return  ⮕ General ⮕ Electronic Filing.
2. Choose e-file PDF/Miscellaneous from the dropdown menu.
3. In the top right of the screen, select the e-file Attachment link.
4. Under Electronic Return File Attachments, select Attach PDF.
5. Locate the PDF copy of the other state's return and select Open.
