GENERATE WORDING TO LEFT OF LINE 1 ON 1040. HOW TO DO IT?

[itonewbie]

You can't insert customized texts on most lines.  What exactly do you want the texts to say and for what purpose?

You mean like DCB or SCH ?

Thank you.  I need to type in excess housing.

Thank you.

I have a minister who has excess housing.  The amount is added to line 1 but i cannot figure out how to make the wording appear to the left of line 1.

You can't print "Excess Allowance" on Line 1 in PTO.  If you enter that under Income > SS Benefits, Alimony, Misc. Income, in the Alimony and Other Income section, on the line for Excess minister's allowance [Adjust], this amount will be added to Line 1 and the details will be included in the Wage Schedule.

What you would want to do is to ensure the Wage Schedule in printed as part of the return Statements (which get filed with the return) instead of Worksheets (which are not to be filed).  You do this by going to General > Misc. Info./Direct Deposit, clicking on the Miscellaneous tab, scrolling down to the line for Wage/pension schedule: 1=with tax return, 2=with worksheets, 3=suppress [Override], and entering 1 for that line.

Thank you very much.  Wage schedule is part of Federal Statements now.

Appreciate your help.
