@melpaw57 , interesting. So , in contrast to individual filing software ( using AGI / PIN etc. to identify the filer ) and act as a transmitter only, in case of business return -- where there is ONLY a representative of the business Intuit is acting as ERO & transmitter and requiring 8453 to identify the filer of the business return.
Just follow the requirement -- cannot fight with the city hall. There is probably some statements to this effect in the "Use License"
Is there more one of us can do for you ?
