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.
