Question

oes Lacerte automatically transmit Forms 5471/5472 with an e-filed California Form 100?

Hi, I am preparing a California Form 100 in Lacerte. The federal Form 1120 includes Form 5472, and Form 5472 also appears in the California Government Filing Copy generated by Lacerte.

However, when I go to View E-file → CA, I cannot find Form 5472 in the Payload, and the AttachmentMap is empty. I also do not receive a Lacerte diagnostic requiring me to manually attach Form 5472 to the California e-file.

California requires applicable Forms 5471/5472 to be provided with Form 100.

Does Lacerte automatically transmit the federal Forms 5471/5472 to FTB as part of the California Form 100 e-file even though they do not appear in the CA AttachmentMap? Or should we manually attach Forms 5471/5472 as PDF attachments to the California e-file?

I am specifically looking for confirmation regarding what is actually transmitted to FTB, rather than what appears in the Government Filing Copy.

Has anyone verified this with Lacerte/Intuit or by reviewing the actual CA e-file transmission?
