Will TT REIMBURSE US FOR INABILITY TO EFILE AND FOR MAILING CERTIFIED RETURN RECEIPT OR WILL THEY UPDATE THEIR SOFTWARE SINCE IRS HAS OFFERED A WORKAROUND???PER IRS WEBSITE - READ ON:
Because Forms 8915-E and 7202 are new and impacted by recent legislation, IRS has provided alternatives for these forms to be included with an e-filed return. Some software providers allow the forms to be attached as a pdf, others as a statement attached to the filing. As an alternative to attaching a PDF of Form 8915-E or 7202, to increase e-filing and reduce paper filing, software providers may instead include with the e-filed return a general dependency statement that includes all the information requested on Form 8915-E or 7202 if they are unable to attach a PDF of the form. Such a statement should look similar to the following for Form 8915-E, or correspondingly similar for Form 7202. Forms that have been typically filed as a PDF in the past, such as Form 8915-E, or other new forms not yet on XML, should still be sent in as a PDF.
