SCorp Business. I filed Fed . return. Now need to e-file state.

502 Section II line 7 is negative.
I want to change that # to 0 but TT will not allow it and cannot
e-file with that negative number!

Thanks for any help!

You can't change line 7. Line 7 is a tax calculation using the numbers that you entered earlier in the return. You need to adjust the numbers that you have entered as business income into your return if the tax calculation is coming out negative.

What State are you filing for your S-Corp? What is the description of Section 2 Line7?

Hello!

"502, PTET: Sec II, line 7: Tax is invalid for State Electronic
Filing. Negative numbers are not allowed on this field."

(I tried to change it to 0 but wouldn't allow me - I then hit continue)

Later I opened the form pages and tried to change there but it would not allow me to change there either.

If there was a text box throwing an error that TT would allow to be changed, they have a text box where

you can change it. Putting it there changes it on the form. But if there isn't a box in the TT screen that mentions the error, then I notice I can't change even if I open the form.

I made notes in a text file with all the errors (I had to type them as I went) if you want me to post it.
