    Iowa Activity worksheet

    We are still getting an error that prevents Iowa efiling on the Iowa Activity Worksheet.  Error says that the form is not ready to be efiled due to a change in the federal form.  There is no date given for an update only that "it should be available soon".  I am guessing that my "soon" and their "soon" aren't they same.  Anyone have any insight on this?

    I have the same problem with the hosted ProSeries.  

    It would be helpful to get an ETA on when this will be corrected/fixed.

    I have the same problem.  Seems like it is for Schedule E.

    I am using Proseries 2021 IA Version 2021.1.0.0 and have the same issue

    It looks to me like most of these returns have differences between federal and Iowa income due prior Iowa depreciation rules.   I am just paper filing the Iowa as I do not have time to wait til lord knows when for them to fix this.

    I'll look into this. In the meantime, try Turning off error checking for Electronic Filing.
    I hope this helps!

    @Anonymous   We are experiencing the same issue.  For us, it occurs in returns with Schedule F that use Form 4562A and Form 4562B.  The Iowa efile information does not list this worksheet as one that is not ready for efile.  Has ProSeries let this error message slip through the cracks?  Can you elevate this to your development team for an immediate fix?  We have quite a few of these returns with Schedule F whose due date is next Tuesday March 1.  Would appreciate a quick response as we do not wish to convert to paper.

    Can you post a picture or describe what error are you receiving? Thanks!

    I get the same message on the Iowa Activity Worksheet for both Schedule C and Schedule E businesses. "This form is not ready to be filed due a change in the federal form. It should be available soon." Requesting an eSignature through Proseries always fails due to the error.

    Continues to be an issue. 2/26/22.

    The suggested work around of turning off efile conversion error checking while converting/transmitting works. Was able to successfully transmit Iowa returns.

    Okay, we figured out the reason the error is popping up on 4562A and B on the IA activity worksheet is because it's linked to 8582 which is not ready yet. On the forms finder page it says it'll be final on 03/03/2022.

    Well, I guess it's good that the reason is known for the error.  That being said, there are Schedule F tax returns due 03/01, so the 03/03 "final" isn't going to work.  So I guess we turn off the conversion error checking to allow e-filing?
