Does Intuit have ANY plans to fix the 1065 Partnership error that has existed for 2 filing years now?

Last year I spent over 6 hours on the phone with Intuit because I could not e-file my partnership 1065 return. It kept insisting there are errors in the return. It took me to the page where you have to enter a personal representative for the partnership. After I entered all the information it say it requires, it then runs the error check again and would not let me e-file because it NOW says all the information I just entered for a personal representative cannot be entered since the partner filing the return (ME!) is not an EIN. I finally gave up and paper filed the returns.

Fast forward to 2020 and low and behold, the same bug is in the 2019 software. I re-installed the software and updates twice. I installed the software on a new machine that has never had any intuit products on it. Same problem. E-file does not work for a 1065 partnership where the person filing the return is not an EIN .

Am I the only one having this issue?

Who tests this software, a bunch of chimpanzees?

I used these steps to clear the error for the designated partnership representative in the Token 618520 tax return:

Open the tax return in TurboTax Business;
Go to Forms mode (icon top right in blue bar);
Find the “Information Wks” in the left column (should be first form listed);
Scroll down to Part V and check the box for Partnership Representative (PR);
Find the “Form 1065 p1-3 (Not Done)" form in the left column (3rd form listed);
Scroll to the very bottom and find the Designation of Partnership Representative section;
Enter the address only in the fields shaded red just under your name.

After that, no errors reported for this issue in the tax return I opened.

Filing my 2022 return and this is STILL AN ISSUE!!!!!! 3 hours on the phone and no one can help. No one to email. I can't believe this is still an issue-I paper filed last year as a result. I thought they would fix it by now

I have the exact same problem. Destroys the value of the program if you can't use it to e-file
