Efile error on a TX Franchise Tax extension 1065 module - Sch B, line 9 must be entered

There is no Sch B for a Texas Franchise Tax Report. I've successfully filed TX extensions in the 1120 & 1120S modules but the 1065 is not letting me past this message "TX Franchise Tax Report: Schedule B, line 9 must be entered for electronic filing. Check either Yes or No to file electronically."

I think that software is referring to the federal return Sch B, line 9.

On some modules ProSeries will not let us file the Franchise Tax (without turning off error ck, sometimes not at all) if there is anything wrong with federal.

The other solution for Franchise Tax issues is once you have a return you are satisfied with and software is not - enter the answers directly on State Comptroller' website (webfile the form) 

[I am waiting on 2 clients for the webfile code to be able to file either thru ProSeries or directly. Ball is in their court at this point]

Well that was really random! There are 30 other errors in the federal return (I haven't started working on it yet) and it wanted this one question about foreign trusts answered to file the Texas extension. Oh well, it worked. Thank you so much for your time and assistance:)
