Hi,

How do I prevent unemployment benefits amount to post on Schedule A, Form 1045 line 7  in Lacerte? 

I am amending the 2020 return which original data includes unemployment  amount. I am preparing the 1040X and attaching Form 1045 Schedule A to carryback 2020 NOL to 2015. Form 1045 instructions says to “not include” unemployment benefits - nonbusiness income on line 7,  Schedule B - but I can’t figure out how to prevent it to post.  All will be paper filed.

Thanks ahead for your help!

Thank you  Kathi 

I just deleted the original  amount input and it cleared line 7.  As I said, this one is going to be paper filed so I can get by that way, but it is a problem for e-filing. It just won’t reconcile.
