Federal Final Review Doesn't Show Deduction Finder

When I run the Federal Final Review on Proseries Basic 2020, the "Deduction Finder" never shows up and the review keeps looping, never getting to the Final Review Complete stage.

Theres been reports of Review looping when there is a 1099NEC/MISC used in the tax return.  If you have entered a 1099NEC/MISC this is probably why youre having the issue. If no 1099NEC/MISC exists in that return, then Im not sure whats the cause.

If it is a 1099NEC/MISC issue, you have a couple choices here

1. Skip Review and rely on your own expertise to know whether the return is accurate.

2. Delete the 1099NEC and enter the income directly on Line 1 of the Sch C.

3. Leave everything as is and wait for an update to fix the loop issue.

Yes, I saw that as a problem from other threads, but there are no 1099-MISC/NEC on the returns.

Also, wanted to see what the Deduction Finder suggested, as this is the beginning of the tax filings for this season.
