Error: Consolidated return is marked as a parent-filed return

You'll get this diagnostic if the name entered for the entity information doesn't exactly match what shows on Form OR-20 in Tax Forms.

Error Message

Form OR-20/OR-20-INC: This consolidated return is marked as a parent-filed return at Organizer/ States/Oregon/E-file/Additional Information/Consolidated Returns. However, the legal name entered at OR-20/OR-20-INC page 1 header does not exactly match the entity name entered at Organizer/General Information/Basic Return information/Entity Information/Name, including capitalization. Correct data input or change selection to non-parent filer and enter non-parent filer details at Organizer/ States/Oregon/E-file/Additional Information/Consolidated Returns/ OR-20/OR-20-INC: Top Consolidations Only: Non-Parent Filer identification. (#124)

Solution

To resolve this diagnostic, temporarily change the name entered for the entity information to match the OR-20 legal name:
  1. Go to
    Organizer
    General Information
    Basic Return Information
    Entity Information
    .
  2. Enter the Form OR-20 legal name into the
    Name
    field.
  3. Do a full recompute, then print.
  4. Once you've qualified the Oregon return, change the Federal name back to its original value.
