MA Solar energy credit and Schedule CMS

[mrbeancpa]

I'm entering information for a solar energy credit in MA on Schedule EC.  When I go to Schedule CMS, it lists the credit type as SLRWND and has a prompt to put in a period end date.  When I put in the current year end date (or any date), the program gives me an error message saying I must enter a credit type to put in the date - the program already filled it in for me!  Bug?

Good luck.  I had the shuddered storefront credit in 2022 and Intuit refused to update the software.  I was told directly they would not be updating it for all of the new Massachusetts credits.  It required me to paper file the tax return.

Thanks for the info.  I called tech support and they couldn't reproduce the error I was getting.  It seemed they were trying to help, but after two hours of waiting, I had to leave the call, so no resolution as of yet.  I may file on paper just to make an anxious client happy to be done!

I am having this error also...Is it a bug?   The software wants me to put a date but its not required.

I'm still working on it with tech support.  They couldn't reproduce the error - it's been a few days since I reported the issue.  I think in the case of the solar credit, the year end date of the year of completion is asked for.

I noted this morning that the error has been resolved.  I was able to e-file the MA return.  Thank you for the assist!

So what was the solution? I'm getting the same error 2 months later.
