Does anyone know how to clear a critical diagostic for the taxpayer's name being truncated? Both taxpayer and spouse have 2 last names. Only used 1st name initial.

Is there a way to override the critical diagnostic?  If I leave out one of the last names, I will need to submit a new REP access and this wasn't an issue in the past.

Is it an e-file critical diagnostic? If not, you can ignore it and efile.

The two long of a name diagnostic wasn't critical in past years.

 

You can disable efile checking for that client and file it.  It will go through.

Where do you disable the efile checking???  

This new issue is making it impossible to efile with two names!

 

Thanks in advance

Thank you....I found it in another thread as well.  Goofy workaround but thankful it is there.

Same here - this is happening on returns where this has never **bleep** of returns and then get the failed diagnostic and have to go back to each of those returns to bypass.  As a previous person commented, it is only the first four significant letters of the last name that is matched so I don't see why changing something in the first name field makes a difference - last name is still the same no matter how long it is.

Wish this would get fixed - an annoyance that is not needed at this time.

@Bronco   Did you follow these directions?  I efile at least one of these a day.
