Question

I have a review issue to fix, 'Line 7a should be blank' However it can only be True or False. I can't unselect an option, only change between the two. How can I fix this?

Line 7a is a boolean field (Either true or false) so it seems that leaving it blank in the 'Check this entry' section is not an option. Yet it is telling me it should be blank. I cannot file my taxes without addressing this it seems.

IF...if it is for a form 1099-R?

 

Go back to the actual original entry of that form in the Federal section and EDIT the form

 

boxes 7a. and sometimes 7b. are special single letter or single number codes. 

 

A box NEAR-or between 7&8 is a Yes-No  (or an X if yes)  but that is not box 7a itself.

and, depending on how the 1099-R form was entered...if there was only one box 7 code...put it in 7a and not 7b
