PA Corporate diagnostic - cannot e-file with a current year loss?


I paper-file all my PA corporate clients, so I don't know about your situation. But it may be easiest (if it's really true that for some reason, Harrisburg freaks out if a corporation has a loss) to paper-file the return, and attach an explanation, "Couldn't e-file; Lacerte and/or Harrisburg can't handle a loss and a corporate e-file."
Additionally, if you want to e-file the Federal but paper-file only the state, you can do that, and the amount of paper you'll be printing, is that much less.
We are mandated to e-file according to the Bureau - we are having Lacerte look into the diagnostic! Thank you.
I get the same diagnostic with Pro Series. Cannot e-file with negative equity on the RCT-101.
Why the he]] do we bother with e-filing?
