IT-41 Line 6 override not working properlyNew

Fiduciary Lacerte - Indiana module.Line 6 Interest on US Government Obligations reported on federal return Override on Screen 55 not working properly.Mutual Fund reports Direct Federal Income as Dividend Income.  This income is exempt from Indiana tax. Input on Screen 16, Dividend Income, US bonds (nontaxable to state) does not show up on IT-41, Line 6 Interest on US Government Obligations reported on federal return.IT-41, Line 6 jumps to input Screen 55 (Indiana Modifications) Subtractions, Income from US Obligations.  Entered an amount as an override.  Still nothing reported on IT-41 Line 6.Called tech support and after 57 minutes troubleshooting was told it does not recognize override because there's no Interest Income on Line 1 of the federal return.  An override should be an override and the amount entered should show on IT-41, Line 6.I was told if amount was reported as Interest Income it would work properly.  This is NOT a solution!  A tax preparer should not be changing how data is reported on Form 1099 to fit Lacerte's program calculations.  As a preparer I take responsibility for any and all overrides.  I should not have to manipulate data to get the correct answer!Please correct what appears to be a programming error.  If an amount is input as an override, the program should use that amount regardless of the programmed calculation for that line item.

Add Automatic Carryforward tracking for Rhode Island 529 ContributionsNew

I would like to request an enhancement to Lacerte regarding the handling of Rhode Island (RI) 529 CollegeBound contributions.Rhode Island allows taxpayers to deduct up to $500 (Single) / $1,000 (MFJ) per year for 529 contributions, with unlimited carryforward of excess contributions to future years. This creates an ongoing state-level carryforward that should be tracked and applied annually.Currently in Lacerte:Contributions can be entered on Screen 51 (State Modifications)The annual deduction limit is applied correctlyHowever, there is no clear mechanism to track or carry forward unused contributionsAs a result, practitioners must:Manually track excess contributions outside of Lacerte (e.g., spreadsheets)Recalculate remaining carryforward each yearRe-enter or adjust amounts without system supportThis creates unnecessary risk of error and inconsistency, especially for long-term clients making large or recurring contributions.Notably, ProSeries and other tax software platforms already support this carryforward functionality for Rhode Island, including tracking and automatic application in subsequent years.Suggested Enhancement:Add a Rhode Island 529 contribution carryforward fieldAutomatically calculate unused contributions each yearProforma the carryforward to the following tax yearApply the annual deduction limit while reducing the carryforward balanceProvide visibility (worksheet or diagnostic) showing:Current-year contributionDeduction takenRemaining carryforwardWhy this matters:Aligns Lacerte with Rhode Island tax lawBrings parity with other Intuit products (ProSeries)Reduces manual tracking and potential errorsImproves efficiency and accuracy for tax professionalsThank you for considering this enhancement. This would significantly improve the usability of Lacerte for RI-based practitioners and clients utilizing 529 plans as part of their planning strategy.
