E-filing Exempt Organization Extensions

We are trying to e-file Forms 8868 in Lacerte 2025 and encounter an ATEExceptionMessage: Tag exception message.  We have taken the suggested "steps to resolve" given in the error message, however, the matter is not resolved.  Has anyone successfully e-filed a 2025 Form 8868?

We're having the same issue.  Were you able to get it resolved?

No, not yet.

It could be that the form is not fully functional or the IRS isn't accepting them yet.

Hi @CarlaH Thanks for posting in the Community about ATEExceptionMessage: Tag exception message in the 990 tax module. We checked on this and did see some reports with a similar error, however they have been resolved, we would recommend contacting Lacerte Support if you are still experiencing the error when trying to e-file.
