Well, golly gee whiz, etc.... Just zooming along with this new inherited Consolidated 1120 C-Corp (yeha...next I'll see BigFoot).... and I get everything in balance...zip over to the Form 851... and wonder why it's not prefilling the major parent company stuff...then just start looking on page 1 for a box to check... So i find and check the box... and the dreaded....'NOT ELIGIBLE FOR E-FILING' pops up. I think the accountant (using the term loosely) e-filed it last year, with the Form 851 pages included... but didn't check the box on page 1 that it was a Consolidated return.
So, I guess I am wondering...what makes this return not eligible? is there some top-secret info that a computer program couldn't sniff out?
