Error: Federal K-1 E-file: There are less than 2 partners
This happens when there aren’t at least 2 partners in the partnership, unless each of the following are true: Form 1065, AmendedReturnID is marked, and Form 8082, DRAAARIND is marked.
Error message
Federal K-1 E-file: There are less than 2 partners included in federal e-file. Based on the 2022 IRS schema, the IRS has removed the 2-partner minimum requirement if filing an Amended 1-65 return and filing Form 8082 with BBA AAR checked.
Solution
As per the IRS E-File requirements, 1065s must have at least 2 partners to e-file. If you can't add at least 2 partners, you'll need to file the federal return on paper. Contact the IRS for more information.
