The program does not calculate the 80% meals deduction on form 2106 for DOT truckers correctly, can this be overridden and uncheck the enable conversion error checking

when efiling the return and have it be accepted?  This additional deduction is needed for the NYS return.

[Ernie · Accepted solution]

Is this for the Federal or the State that you want to deduct the meals and are they deductible?

The deduction is for the state and after I posted this I said why don't I just change the state itemization form to the correct number which is what I am doing.   So there will be no overwrites on either form.  Thank you for responding to my question.

You are welcome.  Wonder who gave me an unhelpful vote?
