Foreign address critical diagnostics

Hello all, 

I'm getting this error The IRS's e-file specifications do not support the electronic filing of returns with a foreign address and an In Care of Address on a return for a child with unearned taxable income (coming from Schedule D). Did anybody have this issue and know how to solve it? 

I'm puzzled - I could file his return last year and the return for his sister, same address but no taxable income. I'm guessing the issue is the taxable income but it doesn't really make sense. He owns no tax because he is taking the tax rate of his mother which is zero. I have completed Form 8615 for children under age 18.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks, Marta

Try to remove the C/O field, or put it as part of the address like "Grocery Store, 123 Main St".
