Why is it that the Ctrl+U(batch for Upload) efile validation wizard process is different/generates an entirely different set of Critical Diagnostics, than the annoying efile validation wizard that pops up during Ctrl+P(rint return) which also generates Critical Diagnostics?

Why can we not get ALL of the Critical Diagnostics--absolutely anything that is going to prevent efiling with the client file exactly as it is right this moment--shown to us?

.

My specific ire is pointed at page13/pensionIRA on a PA return, "make sure the 'EIN verified' box is checked" on one, and "marked as spouse but return is for a single client" (because the client passed away last year, and the pro forma carried all the codes forward as-is).

Yet when I look at our PDF archive of the return as it was going through the process, the ONLY critical that I see is "signature date must be input" (code49 on page4.1).

Show us the diagnostics, already!
