Error: The field 'Loss' with value 'NONE', data format is not correct
This error occurs when the Loss field on California Form 565 or Form 568 Schedule EO contains an invalid value such as "NONE" instead of a valid decimal format. The California e-file schema requires loss percentages to be between 0% and 100%, entered as a decimal with up to 6 digits and 4 required fraction digits.
Error message
Validation failed on [FILE_ID]: Form: CAForm565ScheduleEO[1][@documentId='CAForm565ScheduleEO] PartialOwnership[1]/Loss[1] Description: Loss Percentage LineNumber: Part I Requirement: CA type for a non-negative decimal that allows up to 6 digits and 4 required fraction digits Error: The field 'Loss' with value 'NONE', data format is not correct.

Solution
- Go to .
- Remove the NONE value from theLosscolumn. If there's no percentage or 0%, leave the field blank.
- Run a full recompute and create the e-file.
note
The percentages for partners can't be less than 0 or greater than 100% as per California's e-filing schema. Enter all ratios as fractions (for example, enter 23% as .23).
