Form 1041 error message when attaching pdf

I am getting an error message when attaching a pdf in Form 1041 under "other". The message is "this submission contains a form or schedule which MEF is not accepting as a binary attachment".

This is a grantor trust and I wanted to attach the 1099. Has anyone run into this error? I guess I can just delete it but I have never had any issue with attaching 1099's before.

I'm getting this error too, for a non-grantor / regular trust and the error goes away when I remove the Sch D Form 8949 stock trades PDF attachment.  However we need to include this so I don't know what to do.  We filed other trust returns with Sch D details attached without a problem, so I'm  not even sure if that's it except error goes away if removed.

There is a problem with the software. 

Do not use the word "form" or "schedule" in the description.

Remove the attachment. Save the program. Then go back in and just put "1099".

Debi H CPA,

Removing it, getting out, back in, and reattaching using a different description worked, thank you! I named it "8949" and it was fine.
