birthyear validations

Related products:ProSeries

I like some software enhancement on birth year validation. I was working on my daughter tax returns and wrongly entered her birth year as 1900 (125 years old) instead of 1990 (35 years old). The error validation features of intuit ProSeries Basic did not catch the error. I was able to transmit her return but good that IRS caught it and rejected the returns. Imagine the disappointment! Thanks.

Out of curiosity, how do you expect ProSeries to know their age?  

While the IRS has a database to match the SSN to a person's age, as far as I know, that is not public information that ProSeries or anybody else can have that ability.

Or, last thing I would want is ProSeries to ask me "are you sure?" after every entry.  😆
