Part 3  in form 990....When I check off 501c 5 and attempt to check form of organization as association, I get a red error that I cannot check off both boxes. It happens in Form 990 and 990 EZ. It is a Labor Union non corporation as most are.

That information is in General > Client Information 

Done correctly there all the part I and K should be what you want.

Can you please expand this explanation?

Go to General, Client Information and make the correct choices.

I did do that and the software does not allow it…

i checked off 591c corp/assoc  501c 5 and then association.

By not checking association, the software defaults it to corp.

Same issue in ProSeries.  Menu is different.  Tax Help states Check both the 501(c) Corporation/Association box and the 501(c) Association box and it will report properly on page one Form 990.  But it gives you errors.  Has been an issue for years.  Was hoping an update would have fixed by now.  Union clients giving me grief stating they are NOT a corporation.  Also, difficulties with the banks.

Any help is appreciated.
