CA Form 3840 Error on 2022 Individual Form

[aguffre]

Having problems on the California Form 3840 Schedule A on an Individual Tax Return for 2022.  When entering the property description, ProSeries is indicating there is an Error when the "Personal property description (leave blank for real property: this is an e-file requirement)" is blank.  The property is real property (real property is checked on Line C at the top of Form 3840) and so this line should be blank.

This is happening in Part I (Properties Given Up) AND Part II (Properties Received)

I have not gotten an error when leaving this line appropriately blank in previous years.  It still gives me the error if I unselect the e-file option.

ProSeries needs to fix this please!

I had this same issue, it says leave it blank, then gives an error, so I just filled in the description...hasn't been an issue.  But I feel like it happened in another year as well, this wasnt the first time I had that same thing happen, so I dunno whats happening in their programming department.

Lisa,

Were you able to e-file with a description entered? I obviously can't if it is left blank because of the error.

I saw on another Intuit product forum (not ProSeries) that they had the same problem, but were also unable to e-file if a description was entered.

Yes, the return was Efiled. 

You "may" be able to EF without the description and leave the error, just uncheck the Error Checking box at Conversion, but I EFiled with the description entered, no problem (I just went and double checked the client file to be sure!)

Glad that it was able to e-file.  I don't like to mark & have the client sign for e-file unless I am CERTAIN that it will not get rejected because of ProSeries problems.  It's unprofessional to have to call the client back to tell them I was wrong and we have to mail it in now.

Will probably print & mail in unless ProSeries fixes the problem.  Unsure where to report a problem to them other than in this forum.

Thanks for sharing, I've passed this information along & will update this thread if I get any updates.

We're working on a fix for this. In the meantime, I was informed that it is safe to make an entry in that field. Thanks!
