Error Message 306: T5013_PARTNERSHIP_LOSS_CAN_BE_CARRIED_FORWARD

You will see the following error message in H&R Block’s 2016 tax software if, on form T5013: Statement of partnership income, you entered your limited partner’s business loss (box 104) or your limited partner’s rental loss (box 107), but you did not enter your limited partner’s loss available for carry forward to 2016 (box 108):

You need to confirm if you had limited partner's loss available for carry forward to 2016 (box 108) on the T5013 page, because you entered an amount either in box 104 (Limited partner's business income (loss)) or box 107 (Limited partner's rental income (loss)). If there's no amount in box 108 on the T5013 slip, enter 0. [error code: 306]

How do I fix this?

To correct the error, on the T5013 form in the tax software, enter your limited partner’s loss available for carry forward in box 108 as shown on your T5013 paper slip. If there is no amount in box 108 of your T5013 slip, enter 0.

Note: You can enter your T5013 slip on the QUICK SLIP page under the QUICK ENTRY tab. Simply type "T5013" in the search field and either click the highlighted selection or press Enter to continue.
