Oregon corporate consolidated return

[Old timer tax preparer]

We are getting a critical diagnostic for Oregon stating that we need to verify the prior year Fed EIN/state ID numbers.  We have checked the box on all the entities that the Federal EIN is correct.  I don't see anywhere that a state ID is necessary or verified.  Has anyone else ran into this?

Did you check the box for "Federal ID number Verified?"

I had to check the box for my individual returns for OR or the critical diagnostic would show up.  Don't have OR corp, but I would imagine same logic for OR corp. return.

Hope this helps.

We have checked those boxes on the individual companies and the consolidated return.  The diagnostic did not go away.

I set up one stand-alone return just for kicks. 

The diagnostic appeared and disappeared and reappeared and disappeared as I checked, unchecked and checked the box.  It's like magic.  I have NO clue why it didn't work for you.
