The following diagnostic is generating:

If your combined group's total revenue for the year is less than $2,470,000, you do not need to file a Tax Affiliate Schedule (Form 05-166) or Common Owner Information Report (Form 05-177) alone. If you are filing electronically, make sure to exclude these forms before filing any Information report. If you do need to file those forms, you can include them with the return by overriding the franchise tax calculation method and file it as a conventional paper return. Alternately, use the override provided in the Texas Franchise Tax, Print Option Overrides section to suppress the Tax Affiliate Schedule (Form 05-166).

We are getting that diagnostic on a few returns too.  It wasn't there yesterday and none of those returns are combined groups, never have been.  Very weird.

How do you remove form 05-166, without creating a diagnostic error. 

[dmwBH]

Delete the affiliates from the combined reporting screen, screen 49.433.

then how do you file the affiliates?

Ours is not a combined group and never has been so there are no affiliates.  It's very strange.
