Luckily I have only one client with this problem. I did a lot of experimenting but I finally got a Federal acceptance.

1) on Form 8960 Worksheet I overwrote the Line 4g Grand Total

2) on Form 8960 I overwrote the Line 4a total. That should make the total ZERO

3) if there are no other errors I went to the EF Control and clicked on the client. In the bottom line of that worksheet, I removed the dot from Check for Review errors or whatever it says there.

4) I hit efile now, only the Federal, and about two hours later I got an IRS acceptance

5) I went back to Federal and removed the two overwrites. I did a Federal review. I am in NY and did a NY State review. I was then able to efile the NY State return.

Again I only had one client with that problem. For those of you with numerous clients, this can be time-consuming

I wish you all luck. I was floored when I got the acceptance.

I advised my client that they might receive an IRS letter about the Form. The main thing is hopefully Proseries will eventually have this fixed. The main thing is the actual tax return balance due was not affected, it was only the form itself..
