2020 INDIANA Form IT-65: How to attach investee IN K-1 with EFILE?

[KDW]

2020 Indiana Form IT-65, Line 8, Total Amount of Pass Through WIthholding requires we "enclose IN K-1 from paying entity."  The ProSeries E-File tab does not allow attachments.  How are we to comply with the Indiana requirement to submit IN K-1 supporting the pass-through withholding?  If you fail to attach the form, Indiana will probably deny the withholding credit to the chain of investor partners and ultimately their members.  This would result in a very time consuming effort to get Indiana to allow the withholding passed through.

if permissible, ask the client if he wishes to mail the return in Via usps certified mail with return receipt... Just my opinion

Hand filing the return isn't really an attractive solution.

I'll end up calling IN (do ProSeries' job) and ask how to proceed.  I expect they will tell me to Fax it to them.

I'll second my friend from PA.  It's a lot less effort to paper file than spending how much time trying to beat the software.

Kdw you are right it is not attractive but sometimes it is the most practical solution... Just my opinion

I called IN and the representtive said Indiana isn't able to read pdf attachments.  They said if your tax software--ProSeries--doesn't allow you to submit a dummy IN K-1 to show the pass-through withholding, then you MUST HAND FILE RETURN.  

You were 100% correct.  ProSeries, please add this option so all your IN filers with passthrough withholding don't have to burden their clients with Hand Filing.
