990 E-file: Reviewing Extension E-file Diagnostics

Perform a full recompute of the locator, and make the necessary corrections.
Select View > Diagnostics to open the Diagnostics dialog box. Select the E-file option.
Review the return information causing the diagnostic, and make any necessary changes to prevent the diagnostic from being regenerated during subsequent tax return computes.
Repeat the diagnostic review process for all e-file diagnostics existing on the locator.

Some forms cannot be e-filed. When an extension requires an IRS form that cannot be e-filed, a corresponding e-file diagnostic is generated.
Perform a full recompute on the locator and review any new e-file diagnostics that may have been generated, modifying input as necessary. Repeat the data modification, compute, and review process until there are no e-file diagnostics listed for the locator. The application creates an e-file data file (to be filed with the IRS) only when no e-file diagnostics exist.
