Short answer: If Tools -> Options -> Electronic Filing ->  Only Transmit Returns when Status is Set to "Return Ready to EF", then that logic is applied as well to whether or not an eSignature can be obtained on a return.   

Honestly, I didn't even know about that setting. I'm not sure it makes sense to me why we're enforcing that flag for eSignature on the request.  If it's there to prevent folks from accidentally eFiling... seems like you wouldn't want to accidentally eFile while you're waiting for the signature. I'm looking into it.

I agree 100% that the "Only Transmit Returns when set to "Return Ready to EF" option shouldn't be applied to using  eSignature.   Makes no sense.
