Form 8949

[RPL1953]

Why am I being prompted to complete form 8949 ? This is preventing me from being able to e-file until the form is completed but I have no data for form 8949.

Form 8949 is an Internal Revenue Service (IRS) form used by individuals, partnerships, and corporations to report capital gains and losses from investment activity.  If you had any activity in prior years that would require the use of this form, then the program might just be thinking that you need it. Please note that the IRS is not yet accepting returns for processing. The date they have published for this is February 12th. Therefore, I would try again next week and see if this gets resolved in the meantime.
