Currently, the ProSeries software has a line for each dependent and a code — L, N, O, Q — that determines how a dependent is to be used in the current year’s tax return.
However, more and more, dependent situations are becoming complex. Some dependents should be on a tax return in some years and completely off the returns in others. It would be very helpful to have a code — 😧 dormant this year. Do not consider in any calculations or for the EIC/childcare expenses. And, do not include on any state tax returns.
In subsequent years, when the dependent should be included in the return in some capacity, their code can be changed.
Thanks for the idea to add a code for not considering any calculations or for the EIC/childcare expenses year over year. We are changing the status to "Open for voting".
