    Diagnostic

    JQ1

    In addition to the current diagnostics, it would be very helpful to have the option to generate custom firm diagnostics (e.g., checklist-style reminders) tailored to our internal review procedures.

    Proposed Enhancement

    Add a feature that allows firms to:

    • Create custom diagnostics (firm-wide or return-specific)

    • Assign severity levels (Info / Warning / Critical)

    • Set conditional triggers (e.g., if Schedule C exists → display reminder)

    • Mark diagnostics as “Review Required” or “Override with explanation”

    • Apply diagnostics by entity type (1040, 1120S, 1065, etc.)

    • Maintain a centralized firm diagnostic template library

    Example Use Cases

    Examples of Custom Firm Diagnostics:

    • “Verify reasonable compensation for S-Corp officer.”

    • “Check shareholder basis before allowing loss.”
    • “Confirm Form 7203 completed.”

    • “Review foreign reporting (5471/8865/8938) exposure.”

    • “Confirm Section 199A aggregation analysis documented.”

    • “Estimated tax safe harbor calculation reviewed.”

    This would function similarly to a structured internal checklist embedded within the diagnostics system.
