8879-PE form is defaulting to an X in the second box, whereas i need it to X the first box. If I do an override to correct, will the return correctly e file. alternatively is there a way to resolve without the override?

I had the same thing happen on the last 2 partnerships I prepared, I toggled the checkbox back and forth a couple times and it finally printed out properly....I thought I was doing something wrong, but if you're seeing the same thing, I think its a program glitch.
Try unchecking both boxes, then check the right one again...both mine fixed themselves after jiggering the boxes around a few times.

Thank you for your reply. I continued to explore this, what I found is that if you go to the
- Partnership Information Worksheet,
- Part VI– Electronic Filing Information under the section Practitioner PIN Program and
- place an X in both boxes
- X check this box to sign the return electronically using the practitioner PIN (form 8879 – PE), and
- X ERO entered PIN (form 8453 – PE),
then the form 8879 – PE correctly places an X in the 1st box only.
