Yes - I got the same but I have Schedule C&F - don't know how to delete it.

I put a call into Proseries. They're looking into. I noticed that you can override the wording to leave it blank

I just saw it today for the first time.  It's a tax return that has two residential rental properties.  I don't see where "domestic research and experimental costs" would be at all relevant in this situation.  

That's the point. It's not.

I've got the same on a Schedule C for a daycare.  I can't delete it or find where it came from.

Hi @Gator, Thank you for posting about this. Our team is looking into this and updates will be provided via email. 

LOL. I spent an hour trying to determine why it was showing up. Rental property.

Thanks for checking in @IntuitKate … guess it falls in the general category of unexpected behavior 

experiencing the same problem. They need to repair this immediately.

They really never miss a moment to miss a moment...

I was doing a final review of the tax return and noticed this as well. The client sold their rental property in 2025. I'm unable to delete this explanation statement or verify why it's populating on the return.

Any update on this?  I cannot seem to efile with the statement being overridden.  It fails final review.

UPDATE - I took off the error conversion so I can efile the 1040.

Were you able to efile the 1040?  Mine keeps failing final review for the overrides.

UPDATE - I took off the check for errors in the convert and transmit and now I can .

I'm waiting until the glitch is fixed before I e-file the 1040.

cutting the check errors should work. Otherwise, I wasn't concerned if this was sent in with the return. It is completely inapplicable to the return so it doesn't hurt the return for it to be there.

I'm open to criticism on that approach. Would love to hear if that isn't a wise approach.

It's a $9k refund so the client does not want to wait.

It efiled and was accepted with the errors in it once I took off the error checker.

"I'm open to criticism on that approach. Would love to hear if that isn't a wise approach"

The numbers on the return don't change so I wouldn't lose any sleep over transmitting the return.

YES.

I just spent an hour +++ to try and figure this out. It also added the Rev.Proc 2025-28 R&D explanation statement to EVERY RETURN!!

What a mess!!

OK that is helpful to know!

Hi all,  Our development team is working to resolve this and it will be fixed in a future update of ProSeries. You will receive updates via email. 

Thank you - Any idea on timing?  I would like to let my clients know how long their returns will be delayed.

Not really interested in filing until this is fixed.

Thank you

I was able to get the form to go away by overriding and deleting the five lower lines in the body.

Once you override and delete the last line, the form goes away from the Forms In Use bar and no longer appears to be attached to the returns.

Trying to override and delete the "Explanation of:" line as well will leave you with an override error.

After being on hold for nearly an hour, the so called "front line person" that I spoke to could only tell me that they are investigating this.  No clue as to how long this investigation is going to take.  I asked to speak to someone who is working on this and was told that they don't have phones.  What horrible customer service!

@CKohlEA  "Once you override and delete the last line, the form goes away from the Forms In Use bar and no longer appears to be attached to the returns."

But does it stay away?  If you close the return and then open it again is the form gone or does it magically appear again?

HI! How I can took off the error? Im still waiting for the update, I noticed that this statement appeared when I entered the vehicle expenses as standar millage deduction, I tried as lease and is still there.

It doesn't hurt anything if it is there. Unless the election specifically affects the clients return. But you can override the body of the error, I believe.

It does stay gone, even after saving, closing, and reopening the return.

It also allows you to leave the 'Enable conversion error checking' on when you e-file the return.

Following this thread.

[removed] Proseries is being 'proactive' and either putting this election in and/or Not fixing their glitches BEFORE the updates ar released.

Have a Sch C client who does NOT have anything to do with Research & Experimental Costs and can NOT delete the [removed]  statement.

Hey, Proseries!
Fix your [removed] glitches BEFORE releasing any updates!

Hello Intuit,

Please fix this issue ASAP. Than you.

@CKohlEA  

I was working on a return last night that had the issue.  That did take care of it.  Thanks.

@IRonMaN  & @CKohlEA 

I just did it too, and it worked! Thank you!!

Yes.  Anyone figured out how to delete it yet?

Yes.  By chance did you happen to read any of the recent posts on this string?

Actually someone just posted on another thread that they released a fix this afternoon.  But not all updates hit folks at the same time, so be patient if yours isn't fixed yet.

I updated my software this afternoon and I was able to delete that statement.  Hopefully it works for everyone.

Yes, works for me too.  I didnt need to delete anything, it just doesnt come up now. 

Can someone please accept the solution so I do not have to read all the comments to search it out?

Thank you...

There was an update made.  You should be able to refresh your software and be good to go.
