This diagnostic may be generated due to excess deductions or an NOL that hasn't been distributed in the final year of the fiduciary.
The diagnostic states:
"This is a FINAL return with either excess deductions on termination or an NOL that has not been allocated to any remainderman. To properly distribute these items, make entries in the 'Ordinary' column for 'Other (Schedule B, line 10)' (Ref #25547)
How to remove the diagnostic
