I use Proseries Basic. All returns that I prepare that received a state refund last year shows error messages on the 1099G smart worksheet (and it even states at the top of the worksheet "If filing electronically you MUST complete payer information on the EF smart worksheet below"). I have to manually enter the EIN and address for the 1099G. THIS CREATES A LOT OF WASTED TIME! I just spoke with 2 different tech support agents to see if this information can be auto populated onto the smart worksheet (just like W-2s and 1099s that are repetitive for clients that work at the same employer with the same EIN, etc) so that this does not have to be filled in manually on each return and both agents told me NO. What would be nice is if ProSeries would enter the EIN for State tax refunds in the data base, so it pulls up all the info like 1099-r and w-2 forms that are for the repetitive EINs.
