How to resolve Arkansas diagnostic Ref. 3162 and Ref. 3161 in ProConnect Tax
by Intuit• Updated 1 year ago
One or both of these e-file critical diagnostics are generating:
Excludable dividend items, such as nominee distributions, are not allowed for Arkansas e-file. This return must be filed as a conventional paper return. Ref #316162 or Ref #3161
Make sure you paper-file nominee distributions and excludable interest and dividends returns
If you’ve correctly entered nominee distributions or excludable interest and dividends returns, but still encounter diagnostic Ref. 3162 or 3161, you’re attempting to e-file them.
See Selecting to paper file a return in ProConnect for instructions on paper filing.
Make sure you didn’t enter nominee distributions or excludable interest and dividends by mistake

Section 3: Estate or Trust Info (1041 K-1)
- Under Input Return, go to Income.
- Select Passthrough K-1’s and then Estate or Trust Info (1041 K-1).
- Select the Lines 1–8 tab.
