TT Business 2024 error flagged North Carolina Form D-403, p2: Part 2, Line B9

[sboh]

Thank you for your feedback XanderSherry. My primary concern about submitting the 1065 with a value of 0.0000% in the field (instead of a blank), is that the unexpected value might raise attention of the IRS and increase the chance of an unnecessary audit. I am going to infer from your guidance ("to just go ahead and submit the form with the TurboTax error in place") that you don't expect the populated field to cause any downstream issues (for me or the IRS).

... so the blocker was not "the ability to file"

... the blocker was "my ability to file a 1065 without a value of 0.0000% in field Form D-403, p2: Part 2, Line B9"

I appreciate your quick response to my post, and I will move forward with your professional guidance that this issue presents no risk to the filing that I am making with the IRS on behalf of my partnership. Cheers.

Ah!  Fair enough.  I will say that I hadn't paid attention to what happened in the past when this was not flagged as a review item, and it appears that by default TurboTax has set the value of Part 2 B9 to 0.0000% every year. For whatever it's worth, it hasn't been an issue for me.  

And for clarity this isn't professional advice; I'm just another user who has to file an NC Form D-403.  Which, incidentally, should be filed with the NC Department of Revenue, not the IRS.

XanderSherry - great point. I just looked at my tax year 2023 1065 from TurboTax for Business - State of North Carolina. I can see what you point out... that TT submitted 0.0000% for the value of D-403, p2: Part 2, Line B9 in the preceding year (and the return went through just fine without follow-up from the government). These facts make a strong case to just ignore the review error (verify the other form details carefully that relate to D-403, p2: Part 2, Line B9) and then just go ahead and submit the return. Thank you again for "talking this out" over the community discussion boards. I feel good about moving forward now that I fully understand the context of the issues in play. Happy filing to all.
