Got an email from MA Dept of Revenue - client had a 2022 K-1 with a $750,000 loss, which created -0- taxable income. E-file was rejected for having a number "-0- or below". Had the client mail in the return. MA DOR will not accept a mailed in return - it MUST be e-filed. They also want me to get ProSeries to fix this issue (uh, yeah....). I can't be the first preparer with negative income. Any workarounds?

I think Massachusetts is a "stand alone" state. Have you tried e-filing the State WITHOUT the Federal?

Thanks but that's not the issue. It transmitted fine. It was rejected by MA for the -0- or below income line.

If it was rejected by MA, it isn't a ProSeries or Intuit issue. Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't see any work around if the state is rejecting it, except maybe waiting a few weeks for them to work out the 'bugs' (or asking for a supervisor (or a supervisor's supervisor) at the MA Department of Revenue).
