You're right nothing to lose, but I was hoping someone here had ran with scissors before me on this issue. Or a workaround that I haven't thought of. I do not want to paper file if I don't have to, that'it'a 78 page return. Either the client or I could be retired by the time the IRS processes a paper return. Thank you for the suggestion I'll let you know how it goes as my last resort.

I even thought for a moment about fat fingering the withholding and then let the IRS fix it and the state, but then I wouldn't be doing my job for which I get paid the big bucks to do. LOL. That may have been the first time I've ever used the phrase LOL. Thanks for answering on a Sunday Lisa.
