If tax is overridden on Line 2 that is incorrect, the preparer is not alerted until after e-filing, when a rejection occurs.  My idea is for LC to produce a diagnostic PRIOR TO e-filing.

Situation: Gross receipts of > $500,000. The LLC fee is $2,500. I overrode it to $900. I e-filed it. I got a rejection.  

Result: Not good customer service as I must tell the client to pay more.

I'm curious; why allow a field to override tax?

The diagnostic I suggest:  "You have chosen to override the tax. Are you sure you wish to do that? Please see the FTB schedule of LLC fees at ftb.ca.gov."

Because a business might have a deployed military exemption the fee could be zero. How often is this?
