Question

Unable to e-file Scorp return-I keep getting error message "for 8453S is not attached.", but it is and Turbo shows it in "forms to file"?

    First switch to the FORMS mode and look for any red ! marks on the list to the left  to see if there is a step you missed ... click on it to bring the form forward and look for any red/pink sections that need attention.  If that doesn't work then call support for guidance.

     

    Contact TurboTax support and speak directly with a TurboTax support agent concerning this situation.

      Ensure that you see the Attachments icon in the upper right side of the screen as shown in the screenshot below. If you do not see it, then you did not complete the Attachment section properly.

      I distinctly said "I see the forms, the tax return shows what needs to be filed and it IS attached".

      Do you see the attachment icon as shown in the screenshot? If not, the form is NOT attached.

       

      Form 8453-S will appear in both the forms list in Forms Mode and in the forms to be filed even if it is not actually attached.

       

      If you do see the attachment icon, and the program is indicating there is no attachment, then as @Critter mentioned, you do need to contact Customer support.
