Form 990-EZ Screen 43.3 Critical Diagnostic Conflicts with IRS instructions - Error #37160
I have prepared a client's return twice now (2023 and 2024) and both times Lacerte's only solution to the CRITICAL diagnostics asking for the grantees' addresses when the IRS instructions do not require such addresses when the grant is equal to or less than $5,000 are:
1) Provide addresses that are not required by the IRS (they are grants under $5,000) publicly on the Secretary of State's page. (The grantees are victims of domestic violence who are hiding from their abusers.) Or to,
2) Override critical diagnostics via the "disable e-file error" program.
Really? Lacerte does not have a way to do the return correctly? This is the SECOND year I was told that the program is not able to differentiate grants under $5,000 and that 1 and 2 above are the only solutions.
