My I ask why you're wanting/trying to prepare this in the corporation module?  Usually a Form 199 would be prepared in the exempt org module.  So you'd setup a 990 for federal, and marking CA as the state would generate a 199.

Karl,

Thank you for the response, this is an HOA Corporation and I do agree that usually the form 199 is prepared in the exempt module however the previous tax preparer prepared the 199 form within the corporation module and there is form 199 under the CA selection within the corporation module I just cannot figure out how to get the form to active and get the information into the form.

Thank you!  This was very helpful

YVW....

I am in the same boat, but when I enter the data in 54.011, it is still not triggering the form even when I tell it to force the form. (lacerte 2018)

Thanks, Andrew Newman CPA Davis, CA

Did you click the box "exempt under § 23701t ?

Force without fee or with fee?

Clicked the box "Carry 1120 info?

Clicked the box "Eliminate F 100?

I have all those things done, and I get F 199

Maybe there's something in setting that suppresses it?

Thank you.  That did it.  I did not have all those boxes checked.

Any clue *which* one triggered it?  'Cuz I don't 🙂

I really don't!! Wow you are in Tahoe!!! Jealous.
