What to do if your return fails it
- 01Open the table below and find the cells the rule reads.
- 02Look for a value below zero in these cells, such as an amount entered as a negative number.
- 03It runs only when your filing indicators mark LV40.00.00 as reported.
- 04This is a warning. It does not stop the return on its own, but your supervisor may ask you to explain it.
