TRIGGER CRITIAL DIAGNOSITIC ON ENTRY OF LETTERS IN A FIELD THAT MUST BE NUMBERS ONLY TO CORRECLTY COMPUTE TAX
To Whom it May Concern,
In Pro Tax Connect, when entering Box 5 Social Security Benefits, the user is allowed to enter both numbers and letters.
When letters are added the system disregards any numbers and assumes zero resulting in the understatement of taxable income.
I've prepared a reviewed 3,000 returns over the past decade. I never made the error of entering a stray letter where a number should be. Then, I missed it on review.
I would suggest, if possible, to have the system critical error flag if letters are entered in a number only field.
Thank you and regards,
