Lacerte gives me a critical diagnostic (ref #0) that form 8990 is in draft form.

Yet the IRS released 8990 and its instructions last December, and the IRS site shows nothing about any pending changes.

Can I still e-file with this critical error? Will the IRS accept it? I just was on hold with Lacerte support for 59 minutes with just music...L

Nope...the critical diag is still there.

BUT, I was able to disable efile errors & get the return to validate.

I can't actually efile it until I get back to the office.

"Yet the IRS released 8990 and its instructions last December"

But there was a little change called the CARES Act that changed F 8990.

THAT change hasn't yet been implemented, by the IRS and therefore, by Intuit.

Whether you can override that diag & still file is unknown. I may try tomorrow; I have a return with a measly $ 160 that this issues is holding up the fiing.

I just found this... maybe it's a work-around?

Thanks. In my case, the excess business interest (all $300) came in from a partnership K-1, and I was under the impression that partnerships weren't impacted by this CARES act provision.

Please let me know about whether the e-filing works (and the return is accepted by the IRS) with errors disabled. My client's return is 93 pages - that's a lot to mail!
