RESOLVED 4/4/18 – These VA returns can now be resubmitted.

We have opened Issue #1810 specific to Virginia Reject Code 760ADJ-014 which states, “Total Additions on Schedule ADJ/CG Line 3 must equal the sum of Interest on obligations of other state Line 1 plus Fixed date conformity addition Line 2A plus Other Additions“.

This is specific to returns requiring the Virginia Medical Expenses Worksheet addback. The fix is scheduled to go out on Monday, April 2nd. At this time, do not resubmit any VA returns with Reject Code 760ADJ-014 until this blog post has been updated as RESOLVED.

Pro Online 2017: Loading Basic State Information in Basic Information

We have turned on the feature that allows you to enter the basic state information that is required for your specific state after you complete the Taxpayer’s personal information.

Note:  This will appear on new returns and returns where the state is not already completed as a resident state

Step 1:

Select the Taxpayer’s resident state.  Note:  If this is not selected the state page will not display and the state will not automatically calculate until you add it in the state section.

Step 2:

Click continue after completing the Personal information page.  If the resident state is not loaded on an existing return or if this is a new return, the state basic page will load

In this example of GA, I can answer the address question and enter an email address:  Note that [email protected] is a format template letting the user know the required format of the field.

Step 3 (optional)

Verify the information flowed to the state return.  The purpose of this field is that if no additional changes are needed for the state, you can enter the data at this point rather than editing the state in the state section.

This is an example of answering “No” to the address question and entering [email protected] as an email address.
