Create E-file Dialog Box

The Create E-file dialog box allows you to select the returns that you want to e-file. It has built-in IRS business knowledge that gives you an error, warning, or informational message when missing data or forms in the return may prevent you from e-filing.

The Create button only becomes enabled when you resolve these e-file related errors.
