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).

Guess i have to call lacerte.

Same for us, appears to be just S Corps for us.  I submitted a service ticket to lacerte and attached a client file.

Spent an hour on the phone with Lacerte yesterday, it's clearly on their side.  Today the diagnostic wording has changed but still a Critical e-file diagnostic that is not applicable to the return(s).

Same for us.  Sounds like a Lacerte programming error.  Texas franchise is just really messing up this year.

I had 3 TX S corps, 2 went through fine but the 3rd one had this diagnostic.  Nothing that I can see is different between the 3.  This is so frustrating.

The one that failed is a sole shareholder, no combined group, same as the other 2.

dmwBH or Jkg1, did they give any indication of when they might fix this?
