How do I over ride the Yes box being checked on Schedule E, page 1, line A, to No

[jdbufkin]

I need to change the default on Schedule E, page 1, Line A from checking the Yes box for 1099's to No.

Great to have you in the community. The Schedule E automatically defaults to No. If you were to right click on the checkbox on Form Schedule E, Page 1, Part 1 box A and click on Jump to Input, it would take you to screen 18 Rental & Royalty Inc. (Sch. E) >General Information>If required to file Form(s) 1099, did you or will file all required Form(s) 1099:  1=yes, 2=no. Check to see if there is an entry in this box, if there is, Schedule E, Page 1, Part 1 box A will check off yes.

In other words, you can't change the default.

Ah, but the answer works.  It answers NO, to if 1099's are required.  That's what we wanted.  TYVM.

Kathi,

I cannot uncheck Schedule E, Part 1, A.  I have jumped to screen 18 and entered 1, 2, and nothing, the checkbox for Yes remained checked.  What else can try to get the checkbox for No checked?
