Unable to attach RE Enterprise Safe Harbor Statement for E-File

[Michael173]

Hi @PatriciaV  - Your instructions do not work.

The only form that TurboTax Business allows me to attached is Form 8453PE. If I select the "Attachments" tab, there is no option to attach any other forms or desigate a form as the SafeHarborSt as the program instructs. 

Will TurboTax be fixing this error?

PatriciaV,  Please see all the other posts..

The QBI RREE safe harbor statement is a signed statement that must be attached to the tax return and mailed in.  The statement should read something to the effect of "This rental real estate enterprise meets the safe harbor requirements in rev procedure 2019-38."  At this time you can not attach the statement and mail it in.

Here is some more information on this.

Please update the software because it definitely does not say that while you're filing these forms as an S corp.

Night before the deadline and this is STILL not working. I expect a full refund.

Then it's misleading to say that it CAN be e-filed. If I'd known that I'd have to print & mail, that's fine, but I just wasted a bunch of time trying to e-file.

Intuit as a company couldn't care less about its customers.  Quickbooks Online hasn't been able to import into TT for 5 years now.  No fix, No care.  Their workaround for the inability to efile issue is to just print and mail.  Who's paying for my paper, toner, and postage.  We need to stop using ALL Intuit products.  Then maybe, but I doubt it, they will care enough to fix issues or at least allow you to bypass the error.

Did it let you file the State?  Did it attach the Federal?

TurboTax (Intuit) doesn't care about its customers.  There is no fix or acceptable work around

They are doing NOTHING

I got it fixed but I am not sure if my method is correct, I uncheck the third box on the form 8825 and remove the number on the right side of the box (please refer to the screenshot) and everything went through. Since I didn’t choose this election so I can choose to uncheck this box, but if you choose to elect this option, it may not be good to uncheck everything. I am not really sure, sorry about that! Hope that helps you!

Agreed.  This software is totally crap.  Spent numerous hours trying to get around the bugs and the final insult was not being able to efile because of a software glitch once again.  I had to print a 70 page return.  Will NEVER buy again.  Tried customer service, but was told that there were no reps specifically for the Business software and the agent could not help me because he did not know the software.  Also had problems a couple of years ago and they would not do anything about it except for send me a refund.  I don't know what I was thinking giving them another chance.  Its far WORSE!
