Feedback on Missouri return

[dwrudd]

For several years, I have noticed a data flow problem between the Federal module and Missouri state module (desktop) that I have addressed with overrides or manual entries to Missouri form MO-A. I'm sending this note in the hope that the underlying issue will finally be fixed.

When a Federal Form 1099-DIV or -INT form includes interest/dividends on federal obligations, the amount is flowing to the Missouri model but is double-counted on line 8a of form MO-A (i.e., $42 on the -DIV or -INT form is reported as $84 on MO-A). I currently fix this with a manual override.

Likewise, when a Federal Form 1099-DIV or -INT form includes interest from states other than Missouri (and the multi-state "XX" code is recorded on the 1099-DIV or -INT form) the amount is not flowing at all to line 1a of form MO-A. I currently fix this with a manual data entry.

unfortunately, this is not the place for bug reports.

You should view this thread, especially the portions that are posted at the bottom in the last week.

Just today I was notified through Inuit's "Office of the President" that the case was sent to the development team.

I have submitted a multipage document to them to try to get them to address this error.

For your information, I was told if I manually override the values on Mo Form A line 8a that TurboTax would not guarantee the return. The irony.

As you are obviously aware, the error in their processing has been present for three years.

I also have discovered what order to enter the dividends in so that the error does not raise its ugly head, at least on a single state return.
