Form 3468

I am trying to fill out form 3468 for Solar Energy Credit. It accepts the positive latitude for the property. However it will not accept the negative longitude number. I get errors messages regardless of it being positive or negative. I get an error message if I leave it blank. It keeps telling me that the number is not within the parameters. Can anyone help?

Form 3468

@taxes53   That was driving me nuts today, that it wouldn't allow setting the number and the negative or positive field as needed.

 

Then I was messing with it late this afternoon.

_______________________________

If the non-decimal field portion of the longitude (the number before the decimal point) is less than 100, you still must enter three digits.  

 

Thus  78, must be entered as 078.   Then it was OK with setting the separate + or - field appropriately. 

 

(Later Edit:  or perhaps longitude of 7 would be entered as 007. Or if located near Greenwich England, 000 [not that a facility there would be eligible])

 

SHEESH !

__________________

Later edit:   Similar issue with Latitude, though it's only 2 digits with max of 90.  If latitude is less than 10, then must be entered with leading zero.   Thus, a + or - 7 must be entered as + or - 07

Thanks so much!  I came straight down and tried your suggestions. It worked! It was driving me crazy. I think that the help pages need a bit of an improvement
