2/18/22 – This has been corrected with this mornings deployment.

After yesterday’s deployment (roughly 6am ET), an update was introduced that is causing the NJ Property Tax Credit/Deduction not to calculate for returns that may qualify. This issue may also calculate the property tax credit/deduction for a NJ return that does not qualify. This item has already been corrected and the fix will be pushed live Friday (2/18) morning. If you have any NJ returns at your site not calculating the NJ Property Tax Credit/Deduction and you believe they should qualify (or calculating when it should not be), hold these returns until after the Friday morning deploy. If, after the deployment, the NJ Property Tax Credit/Deduction is not calculating on a potentially impacted return, please contact support with your EFIN and Last 4 of the TP SSN. We apologize for this inconvenience.

The below highlighted checkbox in E-file under “Optional Questions” should not be marked for VITA/TCE returns, even if you are preparing your own return through a VITA/TCE site. This checkbox can create validation issues for state returns because they will be looking for paid preparer information (i.e. PTIN or SSN) with the return. This checkbox should be ignored. If you filed a state return with this checkbox marked and it either validated or rejected, uncheck the box and resubmit the return.

Issue 6721 has been opened to review a page validation occurring when attempting to click “Save & Exit” on the Submission page of e-file after marking a return “Approved” or “Failed”. The page validation that pops says “Invalid modification of client account status”. It appears to only impact returns that were in “Review” status prior to 1pm ET today.

TaxSlayer Pro Online recently updated the barcode that displays on the PDF of the D-400 (NC main form). If your site will be paper filing a North Carolina return, please access the return from Client List or click the print option from Client List to receive the update. This will generate the PDF with the current barcode NC DOR will need to properly process the mailed return. This does not impact electronically filed NC returns. Note: Previously paper filed NC returns prior to the barcode update will still be processed by NC DOR.
