Is there a way to override GP representative SSN on a Partnership Return

[aneela]

 for I am trying to E File Partnership Return and it will not allow us to E File without GP Representative SSN. The GP Representative does not feel comfortable with providing his SSN. Is there a way to override this????

This statement is on the IRS website:

"On Form 1065 and Form 1066, under Designation of Partnership Representative, taxpayers may enter all 0s (example: 00-0000000 or 000-00-0000) for the TIN of the partnership representative and designated individual (if applicable)."

Whether or not Intuit updated the software to comply with this change, I'm not sure.
