The following diagnostic is generating:efile: a pdf of the schedule K-1 (form N-20) for all partners must be attached. What is the Form and line number that the PDF of the schedule K-1 (form N-20) is being attached to supplement? The form is already sent with the return, does a pdf need to be attached. I can find nothing in the HI form N-20 instructions. Solution:

I have the same question.  This diagnostic doesn't make any sense.  We're supposed to attach the Hawaii K-1s to the Hawaii return?  Aren't all K-1s sent when we efile?

I went ahead and attached the K1's all in one file as more than one created a diagnostic that a paper return would be needed.  Clicked the box for HI only, and the referenced form line or instruction is Partners share of income credits deductions.

I add a second attachment due to rental income on form 8825 for HI.  With reference to Form line or instruction:  Rental RealEstated income and expenses of a ptr 8825.

Both do not make logical sense, I thought it better to attach them.  It can do no harm and it may prevent a notice down the line.   

If anyone can reference the Hawaii instruction that refers to attaching pdf copies of forms that are included in the efiled tax return, please share.

Did anyone find a solid answer or are we all just guessing on this?

I think the diagnostic is incorrect.  The instructions don't say to attach extra K-1s.

Is there a solution to this diagnostic?  I can't get it to go away no matter what I do.
