Paper File Partners Individual Returns?

[ICOUNT]

I have several partners in a farm partnership that has income & Section 179 depreciation. I got an e -file error stating that if the farm work sheet for line 1 includes a deduction for 179--- then the return must be paper filed. I assume this would apply to a partner in a business partnership with section 179 also. Thus a lot of returns that were electronically filed other years can not be electronically filed this year. I called ATX support----on the line for a long time--they said this is true. Anyone else run into this?
