SAVE US FROM THE DETROIT NONRESIDENT NIGHTMARE
Detroit nonresident returns should be set either in Profile by giving us the option to add a Detroit nonresident return in the City return window or an easy check box in client data when a Detroit return is present.
Currently, the torture is to make entries for dates and days worked in the W-2 local area. This is so tricky that I've been unable to get the 5119 Nonresident return to pop in. Instead, the 5118 resident return pops in.
I have one other client in this situation. I looked at the entries I had for her and emulated them in this return. No luck.
5121 Mess
The other issue is a 5121 withholding schedule loads, and page 2 contains Part 3 that will reflect entries for nonresidents.
Unfortunately, these fields are not live; if we could click on them perhaps we would get to the right spot.
Need Better Help, Too
Help on this topic is useless. That needs improvement, too.
I've spent at least two hours trying to resolve this mess, plus a call to support. There's no obvious fix to them either. I can't bill the client for this wasted time, since it's not his fault.
HELP!
