You were both right to be skeptical regarding the Blank Form. I happened to click on the program help at the top of the window when my Blank Form was open, and it brought up context sensitive help for that form. It specifically states that Blank Form is NOT included in an e-file, and is only for paper filing. So much for counting on definitive information from the TurboTax reps <sigh>. So I switched to tagteam's suggestion of putting both names with their respective SSNs on the Name line of the de minimis safe harbor election form, and deleted the Blank Form. I don't want to wait for what turned out to be a significant refund this year, so I'll take the probably small risk of not using 2 separate election forms this year.
By the way, TurboTax also limits you to a single instance of the Blank Form. Dumb!
Thanks again for your help and prescient advice.
THE END
