I am in the same boat with ET ownership and pretty disappointed TTax does not handle the 8990 in simple situations. I have a minuscule amount of line 13 code K being reported (Excess Business Interest Expense) and I have no intention of using it as a deduction. This is my first year of TTax after getting tired of paying to have the return done. I looked back at what the tax accountant did and found they filled out the schedule A of the 8990 to record the values but ultimately put zero's in the 8990 Section one and the rest of the form where totals are recorded. So I guess I could send this 8990 separately by mail to the IRS but how would they know to marry it to my e-filed return?
I saw on an older post that maybe don't bother filing it at all given it's not going to be used in the end to reduce any taxes. I think I'll just hold it until the IRS requests it for now unless anyone else has an alternative solution.
