Should the entries on the 1099-INT form still show "Needs review" after i've reviewed the detail and see nothing wrong?

All entries on the form continue to be tagged with "Needs review."

Hard to know exactly why...but mine does it too  IF:

 

1)  IF, box 17 has 0.00 in it and no state is indicated in box 15.  If your box 17 has a zero in it, then make boxes 15, 16, 17 entirely blank.

 

2)   Will also occur if you have a positive value in box 8, and you didn't indicate what state(s) issued the $$ showing in box 8...then you need to run thru the interview and answer the followup page as to what states issued those box 8 $$.   IF none of the bonds you hold are from your own state's municipal bonds, or if you live in a state without an income tax, then just mark it all as "Multiple States"  (end of list of states) .

 

3)   Could be something else, but don't put 0.00 in any boxes that don't have actual values in them...leave them blank

 

( the only exception to #3 that I know of, is for a 1099-DIV form, where the software requires that  box 1a of that form must have either a real positive value, or a 0.00 in it)

 

__________________________

Beyond that, failing all else, delete that particular 1099-INT form entirely and create a new form, but enter it from scratch, manually...do not import it from a provider.....use "I'll type it in myself" on the page where it asks for the bank name

My response to that was to review it one time.

 

Then I ignored the dang thing.

 

I think it is like a computer asking if you really, really, really, really, want to log out.
