How to resolve diagnostics ref. 3808 and 3810 in ProConnect

SOLVED•by Intuit•Updated June 06, 2023

When working on an Individual (1040) return, you may encounter one or both of the following diagnostics:

"Although the taxpayer has an overpayment of [current tax year] taxes, absent the estimated tax payment(s) made after April 15th, the taxpayer would have owed taxes on April 15th." (ref. #3808)

"Absent the taxpayer's estimated tax payment(s) made after April 15th, the taxpayer would have owed more taxes on April 15th." (ref. #3810)

If the diagnostic is accurate and the payment was made after the due date, you must calculate penalties and interest manually. Follow these steps to enter your calculated amounts:

Go to Input Return ⮕ Payments, Penalties & Extensions ⮕ Penalties & Interest (2210).
Enter a Filing Date under the Underpayment Penalty (2210) section.
Select the Late Return Pen & Int. tab.
Enter calculated amounts in:
- Interest (1= automatic) (if applicable).
- Late payment of tax (1= automatic) (if applicable).

Please note that these diagnostics will not disappear, but they will not prevent you from e-filing the return. Payments made after the April 15th deadline are not included for purposes of calculating late payment penalty and interest.

If a date after 04/15 was entered for an Additional Estimated Tax Payment due to the 15th falling on a weekend or a Federal Holiday:

Go to Input Return ⮕ Payments, Penalties & Extensions ⮕ 20YY Estimated Tax Payments.
Scroll down to the Additional Estimated Tax Payment section.
Delete the date in the Date field, If the date entered is 04/16, 04/17, or 04/18.
- The calculations defaults to 04/15, so you can leave the Date field blank.

If a date after 04/15/20YY was entered in the Paid with Extension due to the 15th falling on a weekend or a Federal Holiday:

Go to Input Return ⮕ Payments, Penalties & Extensions ⮕ 20YY Estimated Tax Payments.
Scroll down to the Paid with Extension (not later than 04/15/YY) section.
Delete the date in the Date field, if the date entered is 04/16, 04/17, or 04/18.
Enter 04/15/20YY in the Date field.
