BRING BACK NEGATIVE NUMBER ENTRIES IN Cntrl-E Sections!

[ER_TAX]

I use negative entries frequently in 'don't print' sections of Control-E supporting detail worksheets, and now I'm getting error messages which make this not possible.  This was perhaps an 'upgrade' to prevent errors, but I see it as a decrease in the usability of the software I'm paying a lot of money for! Please make an option to remove this error message and allow negative numbers!

Hey @ER_TAX - this is a good idea. There is another suggestion already on this Lacerte Tax Exchange by @akap here: https://proconnect.intuit.com/community/lacerte-tax-idea-exchange/negative-numbers-should-be-allowed...

Thanks for the idea. We are changing the status to "Open for voting" since it is no longer considered "New". If you have any questions on the life cycle of an idea, check out our Idea Getting Started Guide for more information.

Check out this post for more voting and comments: Negative Numbers Should be allowed on all input fields 

[IntuitGabiU]

In order to conform with Federal and state agency requirements and also to achieve high e-file acceptance rates, we are unable to make blanket program changes to allow negative numbers on all input fields.

However, we can look on a case-by-case basis at selected input fields within the software to determine if changes could be made which do not conflict with either Federal and/or state requirements for both print and electronic filing.

In order to review, please provide the following information in the thread Supporting Detail doesn't allow negative numbers per line:
-Tax module (Individual, Partnership, etc.)
-Agency (Federal) (State)
-Screen Number
-Input field Description
-Code Number.

(Screen Number, Section Description and Code Number can be obtained by clicking on an input field and pressing F1.)

Thank you for your time.
