Problem: I received a IRS Reject F1040-080 referencing 1040 page 1 Line 21

Reason: The IRS issued a new set of business rules regarding Line 21 and the reporting of the 2555 and 2555-EZ

Alternative Solution:

Open 1040 page 1

Go to line 21 Enter the following in the description line FORM 2555 or FORM 2555-EZ (depending on which form is in the return)

Override and put the $value of either the 2555 or 2555-EZ including the negative sign (-XXXX) if applicable in the inner (first) amount line T

hen override and put the same $value in the outer (left) amount line (the total will double prior to this override because they entered the info in the first amount line).

We are researching a programmatic solution
