Re: 2024 H&B Mac Edition Issue with claiming the auto-enrollment credit (Form 8881, Part II)
Edit: Under Business: Less Common Business Situations ->Business Credits there is an option for "Pension Plans - Startup Costs, Auto-Enrollment and Military Spouse Participation credits" - but it will not let me take the Auto-Enrollment credit even though [as covered ad nauseam above, a sole proprietor with no employees is eligible to claim the auto-enrollment credit (Form 8881, Part II), without being eligible for or claiming the startup credit (Form 8881, Part I)]. Instead it displays the message "You have not entered any pension plan startup costs. In order to take this credit you must have entered costs.. go to the Business tab.. and enter your expenses", a circular situation that seems like a bug as described in the 2023 version above in this thread.
