there's a fair bit of info how to enter a carryforward, but almost nothing about a carry back. I have a general business credit (efficient home credit from a flow through entity) carry back to show on an amended 1040, but there seems to be no way to enter it. The Form 3800 Part III has a checkbox for carryback, but I can't just add a 3800 Part III. when I click on Forms and 3800 Part III, there are existing forms listed which I can click on. At the bottom where we can generally add a form, it shows, but the radio button does not allow me to click on it. If I were to put it on the K-1, it shows up as a current yr credit, not a C/B. I tried that and then overriding the Carryback checkbox on form 3800 Part III, but ProSeries clearly did not like that - lots of error messages! So is there no way to show a credit carryback in ProSeries???? If so, that's disturbing.
Figured out the answer myself! At bottom of 3800 worksheet there is a place to enter credit carry forwards and carry backs (at first glance it had seemed as if it was only for credit carry FORWARDS) - and must also check the box at top of 1040-X to show credit carrybacks are included.
