ACA Software: How to handle the name ‘True’.

The name True is a beautiful, wonderful English name.  But when you type in Excel a first, middle or last name of ‘True’, Excel treats the name True as a boolean expression.  And when you create the files for electronic submission to the IRS, you will see something like:

<PersonFirstNm></PersonFirstNm>

where the name is empty.  To avoid this error, type ‘ and then the name True.  The ‘ in front formats the cell as text.  The software imports in the correct name and will efile the correct name.
