I get what you’re saying, but when the IRS’s e-file system “sees” that you have an amount on line 30 of Schedule C, and you’ve used the Simplified Method on line 30, it won’t be looking for Form 8829.
E-file reject rules work something like: if X is present, and Y isn’t, then reject the return. In this case, if the Simplified Method data isn’t present on line 30, and there’s an amount on line 30, and Form 8829 isn’t present in your return, the system would reject your return.
That would be the reject condition. But since you have Simplified Method data present, there’d be no reason to reject.
