Operation Inherent Resolve

[SYM2022]

My client is in the military. Operation Inherent Resolve nor Combat Zone are listed in the Special Military Processing drop-down menu. How is this resolved?

As of 2-1-24, this issue still exists in Lacerte 2023. The IRS has a list of approved combat zones that is not consistent with the drop down in Lacerte. I don't know why Desert Storm is still listed 30 years later, but the list has not been updated with current combat zones.

I just did an error bypass on this last year since I knew the return was correct.  It was filed no problem - will likely be doing the same this year since I'm doing a return for that same client again.

I don't know why they don't just update it though - when I told my military client what was listed he said none of those were current for the most part.

How did you bypass the error? I clicked the ignore button but it didn't look like it bypassed. Thanks
