Idaho information worksheet - occupation

I am trying to e-file a nonresident tax form for Idaho. Every time I try to submit, I am told I need to shorten the length of my occupation. "TP Occupation has too many characters," I am told. However, when I go into the occupation field, I am unable to edit it. Can anyone help?

To edit your occupation, please follow the instructions below:

  1. Open your return.
  2. Click My Info on the left-hand side.
  3. Click Edit next to your name.
  4. Edit your occupation.

When you shorten your occupation title, you can write whatever you feel best suits your occupation in the tax year. The occupation you enter does not affect your tax return and is used for statistical purposes only.
