We received this reject message on a Return. The client's last name has an apostrophe in it. We have filed returns for them for several years. It seems like maybe this is a software issue with form 7206 not accepting an apostrophe. Any other thoughts?

Delete the apostrophe and try again.

Someone else posted about problems with a name like O'Grady.

The more I know the more I don’t know.

Right I could delete it but that changes the last name of the client and the apostrophe works on all the other forms they have so wondering if it is possible to get a software update to have the name field on form 7206 to allow apostrophes?
