14391: Form 8858 Required - EF Message 4607

Creation of Form 8858 is not supported in Drake Tax software. The form must be completed outside the software and submitted with Form 8453 to the IRS by mail. To clear the message and allow e-filing of the individual return, go to the EF screen and check Form 8858 under Form 8453 Paper Document Indicators.

This will produce a Form 8453 with box 8858 checked in view mode. Print form 8453, complete Form 8858 outside of Drake, and then mail both forms to the IRS. A fillable PDF of Form 8858 is available from the IRS. A blank form is also available under Tools > Blank Forms.

IMPORTANT  Failure to submit the 8858 to the IRS may result in delayed processing of the return.

EF Message 4607 also generates in 1120, 1120S, and 990 returns when applicable to data entry.

Since there is no paper-document indicator form 8453 for a business return. Any 1120, 1120-S and 990 returns with this EF message must paper-file the entire return and attach form 8858 to the paper-filed return.

More information may be found in the Form 8858 Instructions.
