Oregon federal tax subtraction again incorrect 2021

For the 2021 Oregon returns, which just appeared this morning, the federal tax subtraction calculation is wrong again, similar to what happened last year. The rules for the federal tax subtraction are printed in the Oregon Publication 17, page 72, "federal tax worksheet." Instructions clearly state that the (third) stimulus and/or recovery rebate amounts must be subtracted from the federal tax liability to determine the correct subtraction. This is not being done by the software. I am aware that I can override error checking when I efile but it would be nice to avoid doing this on hundreds of Oregon returns. Can someone pass this information on to the people who can fix this?

Was the issue ever resolved last year?  If I had to do hundreds of Oregon returns I would not want to argue with the instructions, but those aren't enacted by the Legislature.

The problem was fixed by Proseries last year right before the efiling season started.

Once people started hearing about this last year, they got in touch with legislators and an attempt was made to get rid of this reduction. No luck, though, and the bill died.

This is a very early version - essentially a BETA testing version of the software at this point.

It will likely be close to the open of E-File by the IRS (Early February hopefully) before a lot of the current problems get addressed.

Oh I certainly don't expect it to be fixed right away. Last year it was at the last minute, right before efiling started. As long as someone can get the information to the people who fix the software, I'm fine. By the way, the other modifications that have to be done to the FTS calculation are all working.

I just spoke with Intuit/Proseries about this incorrect processing of the Stimulus in the Federal liability subtraction for Oregon and was told that it should be corrected in the final update on 2/24/22. The support tech recommended holding off to e-file returns for Oregon until it is fixed. Has anyone else heard something different?
