Deductions & credits

Let's fix your return. It wants you to complete form 561 for capital gains but the form is not in your list. Capital gains can be reported with 1099-DIV in box 2a.  Ok, let's get you to the error to see if you should exclude the gains:

  1. Please go back to your state return.
  2. Go through the review again
  3. See the error, Check this Entry Form 561
  4. A portion of the 561 will be on your screen for you to see a dollar amount
  5. A pink box may be highlighted on the right side saying gain or loss
  6. On the far left, in a tiny column, is a little box, check it to exclude the gain, if it should be excluded.
