I have been reporting the increased value of a U.S. Savings Bond-EE inherited from my mother as interest each year since she died. Then I redeemed the bond in 2023 and received a Form 1099-INT from the bank showing the full amount of interest in Box 3. Using the interview screens, this full amount was entered in Box 3 of the Form 1099-INT Worksheet along with the other requested adjustment information. When I reviewed the Schedule B form, under Part 1 Interest, just below a new Subtotal line, there is also now a line entry for "US Savings Bond Interest Previously Reported" with my adjustment amount correctly shown as a subtraction from the subtotal amount. But later, at the Fed Review Smart Check screen, an error message appears saying: "Schedule B 1099-INT ...Type of adjustment checkbox for Savings Bond-EE cannot be previously reported bond interest since the program does not support this kind of adjustment to Special handling interest... But if Schedule B is now showing the correct adjustment reason and calculation, why is the 2023 Premier program Smart Check showing this error message? Please let me know how I can override or resolve this error to complete my return then e-file it. Thanks!
