Catherine Posted March 27, 2009 Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 Chances are no one else has run into this as there don't seem to be many Mass. folks on the forum. But there is a huge problem with the Mass Sch. HC (the *&^%$ health care proof). Things go fine as long as taxpayers have full-year health insurance. Ran into one a while back that didn't but it was a part-year residence and I over-rode where necessary to make it come out properly and correctly. But now I have a full-year resident who just didn't have insurance. I need eleven separate over-rides to get this bleepity-bleep-bleeping form to work according to instructions. Numbers that are supposed to flow from the Federal form just don't. The jump-to bunny (where it exists) jumps to the right place -- but the numbers don't flow through. And to enter those figures requires an over-ride. Then when I get to the penalty worksheets, I have to over-ride everything in sight! I understand not being able to get every little link right, but for goodness' sake I shouldn't have to over-ride to get the right data in there when they haven't put the links in! GRRRR!!!!!!!

taxperson Posted March 27, 2009 Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 I've seen that form and it's a nightmare. Only time I've had a problem was when I overrode a box. Use the worksheets and DON'T override and it works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Use the worksheets and DON'T override and it works. I did a MA non-resident, and I hope I never do another one. There was no way to come out without losing money or my client on that one. I don't think everything links up properly even if you do use all the worksheets. Of course, I may have been missing something that should have been obvious, it happens, especially to me!

Catherine Posted March 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 I've seen that form and it's a nightmare. Only time I've had a problem was when I overrode a box. Use the worksheets and DON'T override and it works. I had to over-ride _the worksheets_ to get it to come out right. And THEN I had to over-ride the form on page 2 where it bounces you off to the worksheets; the required checkboxes would not check! Typical Massachusetts situation: ill-conceived, ill-implemented, ill-presented, and administered by the wrong agency! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
