Thanks once again AliciaP1; you are about the only positive experience I have had with Turbotax this year, and I am impressed to see your response to me early on a Sunday morning. It would have been helpful had the Turbotax system explained that a negative sales price on my capital gains worksheet disqualified Massachusetts efile.
However, and I have one more request of you and that is to explain the negative sales.
The federal return had no losses or negative sales.
On the Mass. return I deducted $1,373 to account for a different state basis on certain mutual fund capital gain distributions as reported by Fidelity Investments. I went back through the state worksheets and saw one called "Additional Capital Gain/Loss Differences" and that is where I made this adjustment. If this is the negative sales price to which you refer, I give up and will file a paper return even though I have efiled MA returns for many years after taking this adjustment.
Thanks again and sorry to bother you w/ this as you must be very busy at this point in the tax season, but please just let me know about the negative sales prices I can't seem to find.
Have enjoyed corresponding w/ you and look forward to your response.
