Question

Turbo Tax rejects a 0 entry on the 1099-INT form from my financial institution.

The 1099-INT form downloaded from LPL has zeros in boxes 10-13.  Turbo Tax Business says at least two of these cannot be zero or less than zero.  When testing by changing box 12 entry to 1 it then says it must be zero or less.  I don't understand how to proceed past the Federal checks provided by Turbo Tax.

Generally speaking...for any 1099-INT form, any box with just a zero in it should be left entirely blank.

Sometimes early in the tax season, at least a zero must be place in box 1 if there are real $$ in any other boxes ...but only until they fix that software problem
