The stop on e-filing in this case comes from the IRS e-file system.
Certain anomalies with W-2s require the written form for additional verification.
There is a significant delay in the ability of the IRS systems to match data from employers with data on tax returns which may have something to with why this is the case, though that is merely speculation.
What we do know is that this is a situation which cannot be overridden since the reject comes from the IRS.
