MISSISSIPPI

• E-file block related to installment agreement request (Issue 8894)

WEST VIRGINIA

• Entries related to income of individuals living in the same household were not savings for the homestead excess property tax credit (Issue 8842)

Software vendors received the below message from New Mexico. Impacted returns can be resubmitted today.

We are aware that a number of vendors have noted receiving rejections, for PIT TY22 filings, with error code 366: “Schedule PIT-ADJ, line 23. Amount cannot exceed $10,000.” We understand that this has prevented the submission of returns, filed as Married Filing Jointly, where both primary and spouse are claiming the armed forces exemption and where the amount on PIT-ADJ line 23 is $20,000. After review, we have revised this business rule to allow returns filed as Married Filing Jointly to claim $20,000 on PIT-ADJ line 23. All other filings will continue to have the $10,000 limit for this exemption. This correction will be available in our production environment as of the morning of 2/22/23, and you may resubmit any returns incorrectly rejected with error code 366 after that time.

We apologize for any confusion resulting from this issue, and we appreciate the outreach by those of you who first noted the problem.

Software vendors received the below messaging from GA DOR.

“FYI – We are experiencing a delay in acknowledgements being sent.  Thank you in advance for your patience as we work to resolve this issue.”

2/22/23 – this has been resolved.

If your site is seeing the below e-file validation showing on the Submission page, you are likely tracking fees at your site. If the e-file validation does appear for you from the Submission Page, you will be unable to e-file the return from Submission temporarily. Instead, mark the return complete > save and exit. You can transmit from the Transmission menu. We have an open work item in with development to remove this validation so it is not visible to VITA/TCE sites. We expect this to be resolved by end of this week.

2/22/23 – This is now resolved.

Update 2/20/23: The deployment on Friday, February 17th corrected the calculation issue related to Line 5 of the IL-1040. However, the display in the PDF is still incorrect and does not reflect the accurate refund/amount owed on Line 37 or 40. The Return Summary (example below) is correct and that is the value the TP can expect to owe or receive as a refund. NOTE: The electronic submission is correct and the amount reflected in the Return Summary is what is sent with the electronic submission. It is ok to resume electronically filing impacted IL returns.

So, looking at the screenshot below, the PDF (IL return) incorrectly shows the TP owes $259 (Line 40 of IL-1040). Their Return Summary correctly reflects the TP does not have a tax liability and will not receive a refund from IL.

Update 2/17/23: The fix was rolled back due to an unforeseen issue.  We are currently working to resolve this issue.

The fix for this should be deployed Friday morning, February 17th.

We are aware of an issue that began this morning (2/15/23) where entries in the subtractions from income menu within the Illinois application are not carrying to the return. We have a high priority ticket in with our development team.
