The State of NM recently changed the name of the ID # used for tax purposes from CRS (combined reporting system) to Business Tax ID# - BTIN. Proseries is printing a different ID # on the CIT-1 corporate state tax form which is the Secretary of State registration # (formerly PRC #). I have been trying to use the Idea Exchange forum but am having trouble accessing it. I just want to put this error out there in the hopes that Proseries tech will see it and address it. We cannot efile the returns with the incorrect ID # printed. There is no option to override or enter the correct ID# in the only field available as the filed length is too short.

Hi VSCPANM,

You are correct, the old CRS# has now been redesigned as the Business Tax ID#. However, the state removed the CRS# field from the CIT-1 starting in TY20. The ‘New Mexico Business ID#’ field has always been the Secretary of State registration # (formerly PRC #), which has always had a seven-character limit (this limit is set by the New Mexico DOR, not ProSeries). Please enter the Secretary of State registration # in the “Public Regulation Comm No” field on the Info Worksheet, and this should pull the correct # to the CIT-1.

Thank you for replying. Unfortunately, the old PRC# is not what the state is looking for in order to process a return. They did remove the old CRS # field and while the remaining field is labeled NM Business ID#, the field itself should be able to hold the NM Tax ID# (old CRS#, just renamed). I e-filed a 2020 return and it has been kicked back by the State of NM because the NM Tax ID# is not on the return. When you look at the actual field length on the NM printed copy, it is long enough to contain the 11 digit ID# with 2 dashes.

A quick fix would be to lengthen the field to hold the correct ID# which is formatted as xx-xxxxxx-xxx . NM no longer cares about the old PRC #. You could actually remove that from the information worksheet altogether so that there would be no confusion as to what ID# to insert. Thoughts?

I checked the state Schema for e-filing requirements and was able to confirm that this field, the New Mexico Business ID#, is not required for e-filing. In other words, you can e-file your return by leaving it blank, try giving that a shot. Also, the character limit is set by the state DOR, and cannot be altered by ProSeries, thus it must remain at the seven-character limit. Perhaps try contacting the state DOR and confirming the cause as we have not seen an e-file reject for this issue in either TY20 or TY21. Hope that helps.
