Overall, this mess with IRS Form 2210 Part II Box A is turning out to be a very big and totally unanticipated mess. People seem to be having different result with the same fix attempts, and some have submitted by totally deleting Form 2210 which I don't think would be good idea because if you qualify under 85% waiver you have to request that on Form 2210 Part II Box A otherwise you could get audited and have to deal with a bigger mess down the road.
I'm going to wait until 2/22/19 which is only two days away and see if any tax software companies fixes this issue.
1) If they don't, how do you prove to IRS and to State you paper filed? I can imagine paying for tracking, and hand signature upon receipt, and taking a picture of the envelope after post office stamps it, and of course making copies of all the forms which will cost me extra money and more work. Anything else I'm not thinking of to prove you paper filed?
2) Can excessive e-file rejections trigger an audit or any other problem with your tax return? I would have to use up all 5 free e-files, in case it gets accepted on 5th e-file attempt, before, I resort to paper filing.
