What am I missing, why is the Multi State Summary continuing to show up as a critical diagnostics, it's a WORKSHEET that does not get filed?!

I've been watching the community and the amount of issues and tardiness on Intuits side this season, has been very eye opening.  Having spent a crazy amount of money on Lacerte, EasyAcct, and Quickbooks over the past 20-years... and having little to no human interaction with an account manager or support staff, is making moving to another software company very appealing.

Can you just check the box on the diagnostic to recognize that read and go ahead and file the return. Many of the diagnostics and warnings are just to get your attention and ask "Are you sure this is right?"

Has anyone tried this ?  Can you then bypass the critical diagnostic and print and e-file the return ?  I don't know why this has to be a critical diag

It is important to be informed. It is a warning that some of the software is not complete. If this incompleteness doesn't bother you, ignore the WARNING.
