Error: The field 'Profit' with value, data format is not correct.
This validation error occurs when e-filing California Form 565 or Form 568 Schedule EO because the Profit or Loss field contains "NONE" instead of a valid decimal format.

Solution
- Go to .
- Remove the NONE value from theProfitcolumn. 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).
