How do I remove a PDF document that I previously attached to a return for e-filing?
You can remove a file attached to a return with the Delete button on the EF PDF Attachments dialog box, but then you will see red messages directing you to complete the attachment. Removing the attached file does not eliminate the requirement that you attach the document - that remains and produces red messages.
To remove an attached file, and also eliminate red messages associated with it,
- If it is listed on the PDF screen in data entry (a preparer attachment), removing the entry eliminates red messages associated with the attachment.
- For a software attachment, you must modify data entry so that the attachment is no longer necessary.
- To update an existing attachment, see Related Links below.
