Hey Folks.... circling back on this HOT TOPIC.
For everyone tracking and following this issue - found another Tax Expert posted thread on this forum. She gave precise instructions on how to 'fix' this issue so the IRS would not reject the transmission. I made the suggested changes, resubmitted and my forms were accepted by the IRS.

GREAT - to continually come back to this thread and see that I was not the only one going thru this. And YES - I also got thru to the IRS and this is an issue on their side. Other tax preparers were performing this HACK (best way I could put it) to get eFile transmissions thru.
Took me over a month to get it resolved...but it beats mailing in my forms any day.
GOOD LUCK!
