Programming Error in Lacerte Idaho return

[BobW1]

Idaho provides a Grocery credit to taxpayers and dependents for each month in which the taxpayer meets all three of the following criteria:  1) Did not receive food stamps in that month; (2) Was not incarcerated in that month; and (3) had legal presence in the U.S. in that month.   Current input screen allows preparer to enter the months in which a taxpayer and the secondary taxpayer were eligible for the credit.  However, the screen requires and entry of 1 - 12.  One cannot enter 0.  There is no screen in which a preparer can enter the number of months that dependents were eligible for the credit.  In the return I prepared today, neither the taxpayer nor the spouse had legal presence.  They have a dependent child who is a U.S. citizen for whom they did not receive food stamps.  The child was eligible for twelve months.  To get the return to populate correctly, I falsely input that both the taxpayer and spouse had 4 months of food stamp eligibility.  The software then assumed that the child also had 4 months eligibility and prepared a return with a total of 12 months eligible for the grocery credit.  This is not as it should be.  Please correct the software.
