    Supporting Detail doesn't allow negative numbers per line

    Submitted by on ‎02-05-2022 12:10 PM

    Most supporting detail screens allow for negative adjustments which is sometimes need to move a value to another line.  I don't need the total of all the supporting detail to be negative, just be able to have negative adjustment against total entered to be a lesser value.  For instance, I might have 4 lines of detail 5000, 10000, 15000, -3000 for a total of 27000.   In know this works on screen 19 for sure for Individuals.  However, it doesn't work in Partnerships (Screen 12); SCorps (Screen 18) or Fiduciary (Screen 24).  I get DATA ENTRY ERROR, value must be between 1 and 999,999,999, which it will but not on a specific line of detail.

    This was working in 2019 and prior version versions and was changed in 2020 and forward for some reason.

    Thanks for the feedback and details.

    In order to conform with Federal and state agency requirements and also to achieve high e-file acceptance rates, we are unable to make blanket program changes to allow negative numbers on all input fields.

    However, we can look on a case-by-case basis at selected input fields within the software to determine if changes could be made which do not conflict with either Federal and/or state requirements for both print and electronic filing.

    In order to review, please provide the following information:
    -Tax module (Individual, Partnership, etc.)
    -Agency (Federal) (State)
    -Screen Number
    -Input field Description
    -Code Number.

    Screen Number, Section Description and Code Number can be obtained by clicking on an input field and pressing F1. This will open the Lacerte Help Center and the Input Field, Screen Number and Code can be copied and pasted into Lacerte Feedback topic. Example here:

    Here is an example.  Screens 12; codes 8, 1008  However it is not that field.  It is when I click into that field and CTRL E and bring up the Supporting detail.  I want to be able to enter positive and negative numbers in those detail for those screens.  

     

    I tried copying and pasting the screen here, but it will not let me.  Please let me know if this is what you are needing.
