Thanks, Rebecca. That is helpful.

Is there a way to confirm if the diagnostic is really incorrect? Since part 1 is a positive number, do we know for sure that the e-file will reject a negative statement number?

The second diagnostic is that form 309 is not ready for print. So I am somewhat in limbo for now until either the form can be printed or e-file can be confirmed that a negative number will work from the statement. 

The form status page doesn't indicate that a print version will be coming.
