CAN PROGRAM BE SET TO 2=NO IN REGARDS TO NO-COST OR LOW-COST HEALTH INS QUESTION? THAT WOULD REMOVE THE "CRITICAL DIAGNOSTIC" FRUSTRATING?

You are talking about California state individual tax returns I believe. We looked and did not see a global answer option in primary options for this. We all vented about it for a moment and just accepted the fact we need to clear it for each client. 🙂

Nope.... and the 'issue' has been extensively discussed in the LTUG forum.

MY solution was to have my office manager go into every file (late January, after all proforma'ing done) and mark it with the '2' for not interested.

I also have them do some other things that I know will come up/generate PITA diags during filing season.  It's worth the time/effort/cost for me.  

YMMV

You do have to join, meaning your credentials are vetted.

Unlike 'this' place that can become a free-for-all DIYers at times.... 😉
