Solution
This diagnostic is only an alert and doesn't prevent creating or transmitting the federal electronic file. Only E-file Rejects and E-file Validation Errors must be cleared.
If you are filing a combined federal return and the electronic file won't create despite no E-file Rejects or E-file Validation Errors listed:
- Go to .
- Check if your subsidiary returns have diagnostics.
- Clear the diagnostics.
- Do a full recompute, then recreate the e-file.
