Why will Turbo Tax not allow me to e-file when I enter a negative number for clergy housing allowance as the help section advises?

[Opus 17]

Regular allowance or retirement on a 1099-R?

[ltyler44]

Retirement.

[Opus 17]

Are you sure you aren't being blocked from e-filing for another reason? Some forms may not be ready to file yet.

If it is definitely the negative number issue, I will need to have someone look into it. I may be able to test myself but not for a while.

What TurboTax version are you using?

@Opus 17 Thanks for the referral on this.   I may not have seen TurboTax' most recent update on  their write-up or "help" for what appears to be the situation:  @ltyler44 is a retired member of the clergy and receives distribution from his clerical pension, and also has a prior agreement with his church that they continue to authorize a parsonage.

@ltyler44  Please provide the address/url/address bar of the "Help" that you mention

@TurboTaxAriP it seems you failed to notice that the OP is using onl;ine Premier. as shown in the post and in the context

[Opus 17]

Well, that’s not always accurate.
