Show all hidden content

Federal-to-state input screen and asset module data transfer

If information is transferred from federal input screens or from the asset module to a state input screen, the application displays the transferred data in blue, for example: .
If necessary, you can overrule the transferred amount by entering the appropriate amount in the field. The application then displays the new amount in black.
note
  • When you overrule a transferred amount, the application does not overwrite that amount with subsequent federal-to-state or asset module data transfers.
  • To delete the overruled amount and restore the original transferred amount, right-click the field and choose Delete overrule or simply enter the original amount in the field.
  • To confirm the accuracy of the overruled amount, right-click the field and choose Acknowledge overruled data. The application then disables the acknowledge functionality from the right-click menu. To restore the original amount later, you will need to enter it manually.
  • If desired, you can set a user preference to mark fields for which you overruled the transferred amounts and to list all overruled amounts in the Diagnostics window.
