efile or print and include form 8990 and mail the forms?

I am a LP of a rental property partnership LLC.

My Schedule K-1 has Line 13 with Code K and so I got the message "You entered a value in Box 13 for Code K - Excess business interest expense. The program currently does not support Form 8990 - Limitation on Business Interest Expense Under Section 163(j). You may need to print and complete a copy of Form 8990 and attach it to your return."

However, when I completed everything and ready to File, it says "We recommend e-filing because it's quick and easy."

I downloaded the returns and reviewed and I see Form 8582 with Line 2 information from K-1. Can I go ahead and do e-filing as the system seems to be allowing? Or do I need to print it and attach Form 8990 to reflect Line 13 and mail the forms? Note that Line 13 K is about $1900.

Yes, you will need to print, sign and mail your entire return in order to include Form 8990.

Thank you @PatriciaV for the response.

Can I do efiling and mail the Form 8990 separately?

Also, is there an equivalent form for California? If not, can I still do efiling for the State?

Unfortunately, Form 8990 must be mailed with your complete federal tax return. They cannot be submitted separately. However, you should be able to e-file your state return. (There is no CA equivalent form.)
