If negative, enter zero(0)

The program uses a zero rather than a dash in the program, but it has the same result.

The income base cannot be less than zero.

"19. Ohio income tax base (Ohio IT 1040, line 3 minus Ohio IT 1040, line 4). Place a “-” in the box

at the right if the amount is less than zero"
