The rule in plain words
Number of claims cannot be reported as a negative number
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 S.27.02 as reported.
- 04This is a blocking check. A return that fails it is normally rejected, so fix it before you submit.
The cells it reads
Catastrophe data - loss data: insurance loss data - reporting for direct business (S.27.02.01.01)
Column
- C0070Number of claims
Which returns it applies to
