Add or Modify Electronic Filing Attachment dialog

The Add Electronic Filing Attachment and the Modify Electronic Filing Attachment dialogs are nearly identical. Use these dialogs to add or edit file attachments for electronically filed returns.
To open the Add Electronic Filing Attachment dialog, choose Edit, Electronic Filing Attachments and select the Add button. To open the Modify Electronic Filing Attachment dialog, choose Edit, Electronic Filing Attachments and select the Edit button. The Electronic Filing Attachments command will be enabled only if you have a return open that is marked for electronic filing and the appropriate taxing authority accepts file attachments with electronically filed returns.
