How do you e-file form 56, Notice Concerning Fiduciary Relationship in Lacerte? We need to file form 56 so they accept the 4506-T that's already faxed.

Don't know if 4506-T would change it, but when I file Form 56, I scan the signed form to pdf and attach to the return for efiling with Lacerte's Electronic Filing function (Screen 2.2 for Fiduciary returns).  

I come here for kudos and IRonMaN's jokes.

Based on my phone call with Lacerte Customer Service yesterday, Lacerte does not have a way to electronically file a 56 without also filing a tax return. No stand alone form 56 electronic filing.

I misunderstood your objective.  Lacerte is correct.  Form 56 can't be efiled by itself.
