Efiling Question: Schedule C Line 16B

[equinecpa]

I am trying to efile a tax return using ATX. I have a figure for loan interest paid on line 16b. There is no 1098 but to efile the return the program required a lender name and address be entered in the field.

I have never had to enter this information before. Is this an IRS change or an ATX programming screw-up - I'm trying to tell ATX it's a screw up but they are not listening.

So those who are currently able to efile returns with interest figures on line 16B of Schedule C -have you had to enter 1098 information?

Thanks-its late to be jumping ship but I'm pretty darn tempted.

For Sched C, interest on line 16b, no, I have not had to enter lender info to efile.

Thanks, that's as I thought..ATX is feeding us a line...I'm not buying it...I'm jumping ship.....better now than a month from now.
