Can you e-file a 1041 final short year return?

Based on the additional facts, I'll stick with my "paper" answer. Use the 2019 software and cross off the 2019 dates and write 2020 on the forms.

Yes - but you may have to file it on paper, depending on the facts.

I filed a return and received an error message that another return had been filed with this tax ID. I assume it is referring to the 2019 tax year. Now I am attempting to e-file the final year1/1/20 through 4/30/20.

so.... you'd have to use 2020 software. Which, to my knowledge is not yet available. Nor are the 2020 forms. I'd suggest an extension, in hopes the forms *might* become available at IRS.Gov.

No... to efile IF you've already efiled a return using the same 'year' software. It's viewed as a duplicate.

Does that mean I am required to file this return by a paper return?
