Message from New Mexico: Error Code 366

22 Feb 23

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.

IL Subtractions from Income Not Working [RESOLVED]

20 Feb 23

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.

Message from OH: Gambling Winnings on W-2G

Software Developers,

A few of you have reached out about the state winnings info (box 14) being blank on the W2G for a few different gambling entities in Ohio.  Seeing that the OH-PIT-054 error code has one of the highest error code populations so far this season, we thought we’d share our recommendation with all partners.

When W2Gs have an empty box 14 (state winnings), users should then enter the amount from box #1 (Reportable winnings) in its place.

It appears some of the companies that produce the W2Gs for these Ohio gambling entities may see filling in box 14 as being redundant because the amount is the same as box #1. Similar to situation with 1099Rs when box 16 (state distribution) is blank but boxes 14 (state tax withheld) & 15 (state/payers state #) have information, its recommended the user enter the amount from box 1 (gross distribution).

Please let us know if you have any questions.

Impacted AZ returns with the below reject can be resubmitted at this time.

AZ Reject Code 991 – 140PTC reject.

AZ is updating their system for this reject code, if the user claimed 140PTC credit but the taxpayer was not over age 65 but the spouse was then they received this reject, AZ is updating it to look at the spouse DOB now so it should be accepted.
